honestly it doesnt really mean something to be able to "optimize" with gforce exp.
Its mostly made for an easy tweak of your graphics, if you are a bit of a gamer, you can deal with that yourself.
And it work perfectly with shadowplay, i recorded lots of clips to put on my videos billboards.

It depends a lot on the rest of your hardware. For example if you overclocked your cpu the optimal settings from GeForce experience won't be correct.
For most games you are better off to just adjust the settings yourself. You can enable the fps counter from GeForce experience and see that it is to your liking. I have an older cpu and older video card (780ti) and almost everytime gf experience makes it worse. Often it sets the detail levels too low. Gets me very high fps, but I rather play 60 fps with almost everything on ultra.

As fas as I know, all that Geforce does, is look at your system and it will set the in-game graphics settings according to your setup.
Like Janitor says, It is best to set the settings yourself, it sets them to low (if you run SLI it sets it to high)

I have a Hauppauge HD PVR2 which I use for Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC video gameplay captures, and put them up on my YouTube Channel. I use to use my PVR for PC gaming. But I exchanged the faulty AMD R9 390 on my desktop custom PC which was is under warranty, to an EVGA GTX 1070 SC GPU. They offered an AMD RX 480 but that GPU is weaker than the R9 and 1070. And since GTX is a more common brand, I switched to them .
I have to say this software works exceptionally and very well. It's not really a resource hog, and it saves me hooking up my PVR. And, it's free. I did try Raptr with my previous R9 GPU but found that some recordings from The Sims 4 and Cities Skylines only had a black screen. I've never had recording capture problems thanks to GeForce Experience. And I keep everything up to date on my PC which runs Windows 10.
Another reason why I don't use my PVR anymore for PC game capture is because Microsoft updates Windows 10 every month, and some of those updates, especially those which are big updates, mess up other programs on my computer, including Hauppauge Capture. And Hauppauge rarely updates their software (probably like 3x a year).
I don't really play around with the settings on my GPU, I tend to use default. I have noticed the colours look a bit washed out than my previous AMD R9 GPU. But my 1070 has a high overclocked speed of 1888Mhz. The R9 only has a GPU clock speed of 1040Mhz. I'm sure NVidia do release regular updates to their drivers to help improve performance and compatibility issues. I don't really check optimized settings. Isn't it suppose to automatically optimize for every game? Pretty sure it does. I could check but it's 10:39 pm Sunday for me NZT. Just watching videos on YouTube.
I also have a high end i7-6700k 4.2Ghz processor and 16GB DDR4 RAM and a Samsung EVO 1TB SSD.

Nope, it doesn't. And it's not optimizing. It only sets the graphic settings to what is recommended according to your system.
In your case most games would probably be setup in the ultra region, but for me it would set them to medium-high. But it's not really an optimization process.
It doesn't change anything other than graphics settings.
I used to have 2x GTX660 2GB OC TF in SLI.
Opened Geforce, set GTA V to recommended and it changed it's settings to somewhere in the very high to ultra region.
I knew this wasn't really possible. Started the game, loaded my single player. Everything in the game was glitched and didn't take long to crash.
Restarted, but opened the options menu in the menu screen. There it was saying that I was using a setup that needed 3.8 GB of video RAM. (Why cant other games show the amount of Video RAM needed for the setups)
But a GTX 660 in SLI doesn't supply this amount of RAM. So it kept crashing the game. So the Nvidia tool is not the best way to set the settings.
And that's why I also keep it in default
