Nvidia has released a major milestone in its development of the GeForce Experience graphics card companion and utility software suite. The GeForce Experience 3.0 beta version is available now and the headlining improvements include a "new fast and lightweight user interface," an integrated news stream, upgraded ShadowPlay sharing, and automated entry to Nvidia's game and hardware giveaways.

Nvidia has kindly released a video walk-through of the tweaks and new features available in the GeForce Experience 3.0 beta. I've embedded that video above for your convenience. Having watched the video it concentrates rather solidly on the ShadowPlay functionality with enhanced Share Overlay UI. There's also an official blog post about the new software which reveals much more about what's new in the GeForce Experience 3.0 beta.

According to Nvidia, the latest GeForce Experience beta has been subject to "a top-to-bottom redesign". The changes are easy to see in the UI with it being more modern and accessible with your games, extra info, and optimal settings just one click away. Under the hood changes sound even more impressive, as Nvidia says the new beta app "uses 2X less memory and loads up to 3X faster".

One of the key functions of the Nvidia GeForce Experience is driver updates. This tab now includes additional news about the latest drivers, the game ready features added, plus other news from Nvidia.

Last but not least a nice feature of the latest beta is that you will become "automatically eligible for game and hardware giveaways". The same auto-log in feature will give users access to a range of new game betas, logs you into GameStream ,and more.

Users of previous GeForce Experience beta software should be able to upgrade from within the client they are running (check for updates within the client). Others that are interested in this new, faster, more refined companion software can download it from Nvidia via this link.

I wish the graphics Control Panel would get an update as well. It seems a bit sluggish even for modern PCs.

Especially compared to RTG's redesigned Crimson software. The Nvidia Control Panel is absolutely archaic.
Lets hope they fix the gamestream showing offline issues, I take hours setting up gamestream every driver update
I can't get the thing installed without runtime errors and blue-screens.

Well it would be nice if Crimson worked for older gen cards & not the single beta they gave us I mean, they could have at least given ONE WHQL for us before ditching us. But AMD dumped older gen dx11 (like me) ages ago. Everything from 7600's on down IIRC. Which for many users = ~4.5yrs or less of support. I haven't had an update since 7/2015 :( Meanwhile NV has drivers as of march for much older cards. IE, GTX 8800 in my old PC still has a WHQL driver from march2016. WOW. That card is from ~2006! ROFL. I don't spend any time in NV's control panel (or AMD's). So moot issue. I play games, not control panels ;)
