PSA: Turn off Geforce Experience Overlay for massive FPS Boost

[Alphons Buttenstein]

I came to the realization that the Geforce Experience Overlay caused my game to go below 15 fps constantly. Turning this Overlay off gave me 40+ FPS on my GTX 980M. Took me quite a while to figure this out.

• Open up Geforce Experience
  
• Click on the Cogwheel Icon in the Top Right
  
• Go into the General Tab
  
• Disable Ingame Overlay in the left Column

I hope i was able to spare some of you a lot of research.

EDIT: Here's an image of the specific Settings Tab

Go to geforce experience, it should be on your desktop as an icon, go to general tab and where it says ingame overlay click on disable.

It is well-known by serious gamers that NV Experience has to be deinstalled if you don't are in the video making things or alike (for which there are probably much better tools anyway). It only consumes useless ressources on your computer otherwise. And for NMS in particular: It may prevent the game from starting for some reason.

Geforce Expierence is not the problem.. It´s Geforce Overlay which may cause problems.. as long as you have it disable Geforce Expierence will not have any negative influence

I'm not going to complain, but I already have this Xbox GameBar thing, and it seems to work much better, so I'm shutting NVIDIA overlay off.
