Nvidia’s gearing up for yet another big November giveaway to drive GeForce Experience usage. Just like last year, all you have to do is download and install the superb GeForce Experience software and use it to install the latest Game Ready drivers from Nvidia. In 2015, the giveaway prizes included three AAA game titles, Shield Android TV units, and a few graphics cards.
This year’s giveaway is a single game: Gears of War 4. Nvidia says Gears 4 was a gaming highlight in 2016 because it, “reinvigorated a flagship game franchise and is regarded as a landmark title for DirectX 12 done right.” Plus, it’s one of the debut Xbox Play Anywhere titles, and the first Gears game to launch on PCs the same day as consoles.

Not worth the privacy invasion. Nvidia can go fly a kite.

+1  I am not downloading that bloatware again. 

Awesome software with awesome features, but I have no confidence in these giveaways being legit at all.
 
 

The experiences I've had with GeForce Experience make me want to curse. Game optimization = fail. I'm too afraid to try it again and would MUCH rather set my games up manually.

I've only had 1 really positive experience with Geforce Experience.  It forces 21:9, widescreen support for Skyrim Special Edition.  Other than that....  It's slowed down games - and made me want to RAGE like Francis (Boogie2988).

I have it installed solely to control the LED's on my graphic cards.  I do not use it for optomization or anything else.
 
And I don't want Gears of War 4 anyway.

Installing this junk software has caused more problems for users than is believable... I'm not joking. 
I know, because I have had to try and help them recover from installing it.
 
For experts.. go ahead
 
For everyone else, just say NO and don't get yourself a boat load of performance issues you wont be able to figure out or fix without help
 

I still use the LED visualizer from the 372.70 driver.  As long as you don't delete the old driver file out of the NVidia folder in the C: drive, you don't need GFE.  Not sure why people still think you need it to control the LEDs at this point.
