One just popped up, and thinks it wants to optimise for Elite by a) changing AA from FXAA to SMAA, and b) changing Bloom from Low to High. I'm a little nervous about letting it just get on with it.
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts?
A GeForce Experience update for Elite today (01/01/15)?

You're new to this, aren't you?
You can fool around with any games graphics settings.
Worst case?
You get sloppy FPS.
Nothing can "happen", so don't worry, Commander.

Not new at all, just terribly hungover and incapable of thought at the moment. Typing is easier, and I wondered whether anybody else had picked up the update and applied it
.
I often use the GeForce setting then tweak in game as those setting are different for each GFX card and there's also an option in GeForce force it to tune for varying degrees of speed/quality. I'm pretty sure it also messes with a few of those parameters that aren't available either in game or using the Nvidia control panel but can be accessed with Nvidia Inspector.
It's a handy application if you don't know what you're doing, but its performance estimates and recommendations can be total garbage.
Also, if you adjust it in say ARMA 3 you will ruin your custom settings, some of which can take ages to hone perfectly. Aand if you haven't updated your driver alongside GFE then GFE isn't going to do anything much at all. It's not suddenly going to start doing amazing miracle things after all.
Aircool: LOD clamp, trilinear/anisotropic filtering optimizations etc etc - same stuff you've got in your driver CPL.

But if perchance it asks you if you want to play Global Thermonuclear War, just say no.
Weirdly, although GeForce Experience thinks that FXAA is on and bloom is off, Elite thinks that it is using SMAA and that bloom is on.
EDIT: I hadn't seen Aleksej's post when I wrote the above, but yeah, something seems a little inconsistent.
I wish Nvidia would come up with some useful software instead of this noob-ware bloat. A decent boderless windowing compositor that syncs framebuffer flips to screen refresh would be a start. It could accomodate window sizes larger than the primary monitor resolution and thus sidestep the multi-monitor restrictions imposed by the WDDM replacement for XPDM - re-enabling span modes and nView. This would enable me to actually play ED in the current absence of any bug patching by FD...
