Nvidia’s faster, better GeForce Experience 3.0 launches with mandatory registration - snydercalkin

'tween the PlayStation 4 In favor reveal and complete the iPhone news on Wednesday, Nvidia quietly rolled out a major upgrade of its own. The society pushed out GeForce Experience 3.0 yesterday—a comprehensive redesign of the popular software set up on "tens of millions" of GeForce graphics card-appointed PCs, but one and only certain to rile some nerves at the selfsame time.

Let's start with the good stuff and nonsense first. As you can figure in the image beneath, the interface has been completely revamped, with a firm focus on your installed games.

If you yearn for a more data-dense splashboard as conflicting to the flashy art, substitution from Tiles view to Details view.

Switching over to the Drivers tab lets you know if your graphics card package is up to engagement, just like in the auld GeForce Experience. But in GeForce Experience 3.0, that banner's followed aside several tiles that display details about GeForce news and features, pardner games, and more when clicked on.

So where are the My Rig and ShadowPlay options from the sr. GeForce Get? They're still around, lurking in the two icons to the left of your name in the high-right corner.

You'll find system details, the ability to connect Shield devices for GameStream, and much more in spite of appearanc the Settings menu, which is represented past a cog icon. The General section of the Settings dashboard lets you know what's needed to consort GameStream, GeForce Share, Game Optimization, and VR, and checks your PC's contour against the name—a handy meet. Meanwhile, if you don't require to receive emails from Nvidia, you'll find the option to disable them in the Answer for section.

The tilted triangle to the Settings computer menu's left houses GeForce Experience Share, a.k.a. ShadowPlay rebranded and expanded in overlay cast. Hera's a name of its features, straight from Nvidia:

"Now, GeForce Experience fundament criminal record gameplay at 60 FPS, at upwards to 4K, in fullscreen and windowed modes, and upload a complete or cut cut short to YouTube; livestream to Vellication and YouTube Gaming at 1080p60; capture and edit screenshots, and upload them straight to Imgur without leaving the game; show your FPS during gameplay; and let a friend jump into your game via Chromium-plate to either picke, ingest ascendancy of your character, or bid in co-op."

Damn. That's a lot.

Whole, Nvidia says GFE3 is troika multiplication quicker and consumes 50 percent inferior memory than the old GeForce Experience, and in practice, this pup hums. The older GeForce Experience had a subatomic lull when you switched between tabs that irked Pine Tree State to nary destruction. GeForce Experience 3.0 is completely responsive and a pleasure to use. The automatic installation from the older GeForce Experience failed connected my personal PC, but downloading GeForce Feel 3.0 from Nvidia's website afterward fixed the progeny.

Now for the somewhat troublesome tidings.

The story tush the story: As promised since last October, Nvidia's now forcing you to logarithm in to use GeForce Experience, via Facebook, Google, or an Nvidia account tied to your email address. That burns—especially after you've already forked over hundreds of dollars for a GeForce artwork carte du jour—merely fortunately, the company isn't locking its vaunted Game Ready drivers behind GFE readjustment every bit antecedently threatened. When asked if there are plans to coiffe indeed in the future, an Nvidia interpreter aforementioned, "You can nonetheless get the drivers outside of GFE."

Hostage situation averted.

It's not whol bad, though. Nvidia's also taking reward of registration to integrate giveaways directly through and through GFE, starting with VR-ready MSI gaming laptops and the HTC Vive VR headset. One day, the gratis games that Nvidia sometimes bundles with its cards could even conceivably be delivered via GFE, similar to how Nvidia offered free Witcher 3 copies to Titan X owners last year, along with access to hot gaming genus Beta tests. Mettlesome-founded goodies like that would require you to log up in to read, anyway—as they always consume in the past.
