Comment on Q: Do I need Geforce Experience to make use of "Game Ready Drivers" (Nvidia)?

‘optimizations’ and fixes targeting specific games that nvidia does are in the drivers themselves.
what geforce experience does is mess with game config files–and it really isn’t that great at it, either.
gfe is basically just a data gathering and marketing tool. i’ve never seen a point or purpose for the user. it benefits them far more than you, and can mess up your own game settings.
leave it uninstalled.

There’s exactly two purposes: auto updates for drivers and a user interface to quickly install uninstall drivers.
The cons include that there’s annoying banners everywhere, the drivers itself are the same that you’ll find on their website, you need to create an account for Nvidia, and they will harvest you data (most likely).
