One of the main issues that plague gamers is what in-game detail settings to use on their systems. Sure, you’re probably much aware of your rig and you can max details out tweak to your liking but there’s still that percentage of users who just want to game. We’ve covered before how components aimed to alleviate the hassles of overclocking make it easier for gamers to just sit-down and start fragging. Today we’re going to look at another piece of the PC gaming puzzle and that’s in-game detail and how the new Geforce Experience from NVIDIA makes optimizing your detail settings so much easier. This article is intended for those wanting to get the easy route in setting-up their games without messing with Anisotropic Filtering, Ambient Occlusion and FXAA/MSAA but even if you’re in the enthusiast crowd, feel free to read on. So frag out and let’s make extremely showy!
THE SITUATION
When consoles have uniform and standard components, PCs are highly varied. This variety opens up a whole level of quality that can only be available to PC games. That may sound nice but the problem lays in that not all gaming PCs are made equal. Some may have 1920×1080 monitors but only pack entry-level graphics cards and some have multi-GPU solutions on triple-screen setups. The upper spectrum of the market may enjoy the benefit of easily maxing out their settings but for those average people that’s not always the case.
Some games may come with integrated optimizations to tailor its in-game settings to the hardware configuration of the user but sometimes there is nothing like that. Another thing is that some users rely on a single driver version and may never update; the types that don’t bother with graphic quality at all. To remedy the situation, NVIDIA has come up with a simple solution to make it easier to optimize games to the graphics hardware the gamer may have. Enter the Geforce Experience.
