ED has been added to the list of supported games for the NVidia GeForce experience so that it selects optimal settings. It decided to alter my setting for ambient occlusion, so I'll see if it makes a noticeable difference when I next log in :)

It works for me. And it think the game looks fantastic. Perhaps you need to download and install the latest 347.09 WHQL drivers (unless you have Occulus Rift, as there's a thread about not updating).

Also working here - and decided I needed to increase my resolution so it could downsample to my actual screen size. And more antialiasing. And joyous joy graphical joy.

The latest 347.09 driver release highlights state (my italics):

"New in GeForce Game Ready Drivers
The latest GeForce Game Ready driver, release 347.09 WHQL, ensures you'll have the best possible gaming experience for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Elite: Dangerous"

So you probably need that to get the optimization. GeForce experience can be a git sometimes though, so if not, try nVidia forums.

Yep, driver 347.09 beta, includes optimisation for elite dangerous and a launch button for the game from the NVIDIA GeForce experience games tab. Looks awesome, cheers for the heads up ;)

Still isn't working for me, even after updating it :-/
Is it just my something about my specs?
Alienware M14x
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Nvidia Graphics GeForce 555m
8gb Ram
2.4 GHz Intel i5 Processor Duel

I am sure these are alright specs but if not please do tell me.

Your spec looks good to me. I just updated my drivers from within the GeForce launcher and it worked. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I have the latest version of Geforce Experience and it works with all my games except for Elite Dangerous, well, sort of. It seems to not recognize my settings for E:D correctly. It says the game is not optimized. My current settings are shown as follows:

Blur: - / Optimal: On
Environment quality: High / Optimal: Ultra
Supersampling: - / Optimal: x1.0

When I click the "Optimze" button, I get an error message: "Optimal settings could not be set".

But when I check the settings in the game itself, everything is already as described as optimal.

Any ideas?

I would like to bump this up again.. I'm experiencing the same issue. E : D is the only game which settings I am unable to optimise using Geforce Experience.

Is this the same with everyone else? Does anyone NOT experience this issue?

Tried uninstalling E : D and performing clean uninstall of gfx drivers and Experience (using 3rd post of: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...vidia-drivers-from-installing-automatically-/)

but didn't work.

Geforce Experience 2.4.5.28
Geforce Game Ready Driver 353.06

NVIDIA GeForce Experience supporting Elite Dangerous: Horizons

NVIDIA GeForce Experience supporting Elite Dangerous: Horizons

The current version of 'NVIDIA GeForce Experience' (2.8.1.21, Windows 10 x64) now recognises both 'Elite: Dangerous' and 'Elite Dangerous: Horizons', and provides optimal settings for them. However the catch is that you must first start ED:H and change some graphics settings (I removed and reapplied v-sync) before the NVIDIA application can retrieve and optimize the settings. Following this, both versions of the game could be optimized.

Note that I only see one entry for 'Elite: Dangerous', not seperate ones for the 64- and 32-bit versions (the latter still installed, and just updated for completeness). Since 'E: D' became optimizable after 'ED: H' was run, I presume that its the 64-bit version that is listed. However they may have common settings?

System:
Windows 10 64-bit
NVIDIA GeForce Experience version 2.8.1.21
NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Driver version 361.43 (2015-12-21)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770

I was having the same issue, this worked for me. Just launched Horizons 64 bit. Right from the main menu went to graphics, turned off v sync, pressed APPLY, then turned it one and pressed APPLY. Exited back to desk top. Refreshed game list in GE force exp and everything optimized.

Thanks for the tips!

Just picked up a GTX 970 - upgrade from an R9 270x. So I've been troubleshooting this issue here a bit and I've found that you can launch Horizons and THEN optimize the settings - it doesn't seem to change any graphic settings in game though. When I launch non-Horizons it won't optimize at all. I know at one time we were able to clear the GPU settings somewhere in the ED folder but I can't find where. Does anyone know where that might be? Or any other possible solution to this?

Other specs:
AMD FX-8350
Win 8.1 64 bit

Edit: Regarding the reset to default (first run?) graphics - I just found the folder (appdata) - anyone know which file to delete?

Just found something that fixed this for me. For some reason the "<TextureQuality>1</TextureQuality>" setting was missing from my Custom.fxcfg. When I tried to optimize in the old version of GeForce experiance I got the error message others have mentioned. In the latest version it just remains unoptimised.

So I manually added in the line:
<TextureQuality></TextureQuality>

Then I clicked optimise.
Now the line reads:
<TextureQuality>1</TextureQuality>

And GeForce experience says the game is optimised.

Hope that helps and sorry for posting on an old thread.

The Custom.fxcfg file is located here:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics

This addition has just fixed Optimisation for me with the latest GeForce Drivers (Just got the 372.90 drivers) so Thanks No3kins [up]

V2k.

I have never gotten anything but "Cannot be Optimized" from GEForce Experience, no matter what the blurb says.
