Might want to avoid the new GForce Experience.

It automatically adjusts your performance to increase battery life on your computer. So if your desktop PC is running off of a storage battery instead of pluged into the A.C. mains, this may be a nice feature. Also for laptops. Otherwise not so much. I don't yet see a way to turn this 'wonderful' feature off.  But there may be a way.

The color, vibrancy, contrast controls may be nice but I would recommend you pay attention to any threads about the new version. Because any day now the inevitable window will likely pop up over your screen. To advertise a new edition of Gforce being ready to download. Right after downloading it will automatically install itself without you taking any further action.

And what exactly is the problem?

Degrading performance to save battery drain on a computer that doesn't run on a battery would seem to be a self-evident problem to me.

Never installed GE Force Experience and never will. Bloatware that uses system resources including memory and CPU cycles to run. When it comes to MSFS specifically, I prefer a fast PC to a fat PC.😉

Yeah I think it is generally a good idea to avoid it.  You can pick to install just the drivers in an option when you reinstall.  It will go in and change the graphic settings in your games without you knowing it.  My clouds kept changing to the really low rez ones when this first came out, and I figured it was the sim, but it was Experience trying to "optimize" my game. 

I'd rather just set my own settings and leave them.

Nothing will change here.

When i had my RTX 2080 Super i made 100% sure not to install it to avoid all issues. I still dont recommend installing it UNLESS  you intend to use its filters. Driver only install to remove all doubt as to who is really in control of game display settings because some will not notice that this "experience" can change your settings on its own if you don't check or uncheck a box.

It is if you leave everything default after installing it. It's features can be enabled/disabled.

Welcome to 2022, where such apps are used by millions of people without any performance degradation. Just like Steam, Epic Games Store, Discord and other things you don't seem to gasp after exiting your cave 😄

I have GE Force Exp. installed for the game filters and Shadowplay which is an excellent video recording app. I don’t see any ill effect on my weak computer valiantly moving pixels at 30 FPS in MSFS. So it ain’t bloatware for me.

Geforce experience isn't required and you can deselect it when installing the driver.
