2025 marks a decade of me working in the tech industry.
I can tell you now,nothing infuriated me more than GeForce Experienceduring that time.
That face when you discover you own your games on GOG
Why the big beef withNvidia’s GeForce Experience (GFE)?
Well, mostly it just felt a bit grubby.
Over time, GFE changed and required an Nvidia account to login.
So, Nvidia, why did you need me to login?
That remains a mystery.
Then came the captcha good grief, the captcha.
snag the squares with the traffic lights in them.
Does the pole count as a traffic light?
That square also has the corner of a traffic light in it does that count?
Wrong, give it another spin (argh).
Lastly, came the email notification instead to sign in, and arguably a dramatic improvement as a result.
All for a driver update notification.
How bad did it get?
I actively recommended against installing GFE on machines to pretty much anyone in the PC gaming space.
I never installed GFE on my own rigs, that’s for sure.
From stats to prefs to driver updates, the works, it was (and still is) incredible.
This was everything I wanted in a decent GPU control app.
All put together in a lovely little package that, thankfully, doesn’t require a login.
(Although you might login if you want but I’m not sure why you would).
In almost every scenario, the Nvidia App is a major upgrade.
Driver updates and notifications, check.
Graphics tweaks for games (for those who don’t like to tinker with tweaks), check.
Monitor control options, check.
There’s even stuff in here to overclock your GPU and monitor in-game stats.
However, the Nvidia App isn’t flawless, and there’s still room for improvement.
The Nvidia App doesn’t push the envelope on what could be done with it.
And that’s the worry, really.
give it another spin.
