Users so enthusiastically describe the merits of this utility, the “namesake” of the “cemetery romance” of the punk band Joy Division – Shadowplay, that it is impossible not to install it, especially since it is free. There's just one problem - the utility is included in the package of video cards from Nvidia and is available only to owners of these video cards.

Another way to put it is, if you purchased a video card from Nvidia, and the software package for it includes Shadowplay, then it should work with this video card.

Technical features

Hence the first conclusion - “where to look.” If Shadowplay does not start, does not turn on, does not work, you must have an Nvidia video card, and a version no lower than 600. Here is a list on which this video recording program directly from the monitor - Shadowplay will work for sure:

• GeForce Titan;
• GTX 600 series;
• GTX 700 series;
• GTX 600M – this needs to be checked, it doesn’t work on everyone;
• GTX700M;
• GTX 800M;
• Everything is more modern.

If you have a video card from another manufacturer or not from the list above, the operation of the program is not guaranteed - even though Shadowplay is available, it is supplied separately from the package of the existing video card and does not record.

Nvidia graphics card

In addition, there are requirements for the characteristics of the computer itself. To successfully launch the program, they must, in fact, correspond to the capabilities of the video card itself:

• the processor must have a frequency of at least 2.8 GHz;
• RAM must have a capacity of at least 6 GB.

So, if Shadowplay is not working for some reason unknown to you, check your technical capabilities.

Additional nuances

There are some other important nuances on which the performance of the program depends.

It allows you to transfer the recorded video directly to the network, there is no need to mess around with a Web camera, but for this there must be a Twitch channel in operation, if it is not there, then of course there is no broadcast.

The program is very careful about the resources available on the PC, but, of course, it requires something. In particular, it makes its settings and game settings to match the computer's parameters in the background. If your background is overloaded with other utilities, then the settings may not work. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor what else is running on your PC “without your knowledge.” These programs may need to be disabled for Shadowplay to work. Please note that Shadowplay performs some actions immediately after the system boots, so first we remove everything unnecessary in the background, and then reboot the PC so that Shadowplay does its job.

Another nuance is related to the format in which the program presents its video. This is a well-known and excellent quality MP4. The only problem is that simple (and free, which is important) video editing programs may not work with this format. Here you get the situation - “the pear is hanging, you can’t eat it.” In other words, the video file has been received, but you cannot work with it. The conclusion is, in general, simple - you will have to use a converter to convert mp4 video to another format. But the converter must be reliable and not lose video quality in another format.

And one last thing. The program is quite simple to set up, but it has a feature of working with sound - it may not exist. The simplest solution to this problem is to first disable the In-Game Overlay program settings feature, and then re-enable this feature.

Conclusion

There is, of course, another way to make Shadowplay work - simply rearrange the program. It is best to remove it first and then install it again. But this is only in the most extreme case, when the hardware characteristics have been checked, the Internet has been checked, and there is enough space on the disk to record video.

Such utilities “from the manufacturer”, as a rule, have no problems in using if your system meets all the requirements for hardware characteristics.

If you want to be on top of your native video streaming and use Shadowplay, you're better off getting an Nvidia 600 or higher graphics card. This is a guaranteed solution to all problems.

Most games have graphics settings that you can use to change some basic characteristics images. For example, you can increase or decrease the brightness, turn motion blur on or off, etc. But, as a rule, the list of available options is very modest and you cannot significantly change the graphics this way.

To solve this problem, you can use NVIDIA Freestyle. In this guide, we will tell you what NVIDIA Freestyle is, as well as how to enable and use it.

NVIDIA Freestyle is one of the new features in GeForce Experience. NVIDIA Freestyle, as well as a number of other GeForce Experience improvements, were presented at CES 2018 and became available to users in early 2018.

NVIDIA Freestyle provides the user with the ability to apply image post-processing filters to games. This does not require any intervention in the game files or restarting it. Everything happens right in the game using an in-game overlay, which is called by the ALT-Z key combination. This way you can change the color or saturation, as well as apply other post-processing filters to the image.

At launch, NVIDIA Freestyle has 15 filters available, each of which has dozens of different settings. For example, there are filters such as: black and white image, sepia, vignette, contrast, depth of field, retro, etc.

It should be noted that NVIDIA Freestyle only works on relatively new ones. A GTX 600 series graphics card or higher is required to use this feature. On laptops, Freestyle requires a GTX 660M or higher to run. Also, for the function to work, you need a fresh driver for the video card.

As for games, then NVIDIA Freestyle works with almost all popular games. For example, you can use it in games from such series as: Assassin’s Creed, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Crysis, DiRT, Dishonored, Divinity: Original Sin, DOTA 2, F1, Fallout, Far Cry, FIFA, Football Manager, Grand Theft Auto V, GRID, Half-Life, Hitman, Just Cause, Metro, NBA, Need for Speed,Overwatch, Resident Evil, The Elder Scrolls, The Witcher.

How to enable NVIDIA Freestyle in game

To run NVIDIA Freestyle, you will need GeForce Experience. Therefore, if you do not have it installed yet, then go. The first time you launch GeForce Experience, you will need to create an account or sign in using your Google or Facebook account.

After launching GeForce Experience, you need to click on the button with the gear icon in order to go to the program settings.

In the settings you need to scroll down the page to the list of functions. There you can find the NVIDIA Freestyle feature. If it is available on your computer, then there should be an inscription “Ready” next to it. There will also be links to system requirements and a list of supported games.

If Freestyle is supported, then you can use this feature in games. To do this, launch the game and press the key combination ALT-Z. After this, a menu will appear at the top of the screen in which you need to select “Filter".

Now you can configure appearance games. To do this, select one of the styles in the upper left corner, add a filter and configure its settings. When everything is ready, you can save the settings by clicking on the “Finish” or “Done” button.

In order to turn off filters and return to the original view of the game, you need to open the NVIDIA Freestyle menu again and click on the “Off” or “Off” button.

Not everyone knows that the NVIDIA GeForce Experience utility, which is installed by default with video card drivers from this manufacturer, contains the NVIDIA ShadowPlay function (in-game overlay, share overlay), designed for recording game videos in HD, broadcasting games on the Internet, and which can also be used to record what is happening on your computer desktop.

Not long ago I wrote two articles on the topic of free programs with which you can record video from the screen, I think it’s worth writing about this option, besides, in some respects ShadowPlay compares favorably with other solutions. There is a video made using this program at the bottom of this page if you are interested.

If you do not have a supported NVIDIA GeForce-based video card, but are looking for such programs, you can look at:

About installation and requirements for the program to work

When you install the latest drivers from the NVIDIA website, GeForce Experience, and with it ShadowPlay, are installed automatically.

Currently, screen recording is supported for the following series of graphics chips (GPU):

• GeForce Titan, GTX 600, GTX 700 (i.e., for example, it will work on a GTX 660 or 770) and newer ones.
• GTX 600M (not all), GTX700M, GTX 800M and newer.

There are also processor requirements and RAM, but I’m sure that if you have one of these video cards, then your computer meets these requirements (you can see whether it’s suitable or not in GeForce Experience by going to the settings and scrolling to the end of the settings page - there in the “Functions” section, it’s indicated which of them are supported by your computer, in this case we need an in-game overlay).

Record screen video using Nv >

Previously, the functions of recording game video and desktop in NVIDIA GeForce Experience were placed in a separate ShadowPlay item. IN latest versions There is no such item, but the ability to record screens has remained (although in my opinion it has become somewhat less conveniently available), and is now called “Share Overlay”, “In-Game Overlay” or “In-Game Overlay” (in various places in GeForce Experience and on the NVIDIA website the function called differently).

To use it, follow these steps:

Open Nv >After completing these steps, you will immediately be able to record video in games (desktop recording is disabled by default, but can be enabled) by pressing Alt+F9 to start recording or by calling up the game panel by pressing Alt+Z, but I recommend exploring parameters to get started.

After enabling the “In-game overlay” item, settings for the recording and broadcast functions will become available. Among the most interesting and useful of them:

• Keyboard shortcuts (start and stop recording, save the last segment of video, display the recording panel if you need it).
• Privacy - it is at this point that you can enable the ability to record video from your desktop.

To adjust the recording quality, click on the “Recording” item, and then click on “Settings”.

To enable recording from a microphone, audio from a computer, or disable audio recording, click on the microphone in the right part of the panel, similarly, click on the webcam icon to disable or enable video recording from it.

Once all the settings are done, simply use the hotkeys to start and stop video recording from your Windows desktop or games. By default, they will be saved to the system “Video” folder (videos from the desktop - to the Desktop subfolder).

Note: I personally use the NVIDIA utility to record my videos. I noticed that sometimes (and in more earlier versions, and in newer ones) there are problems when recording, in particular - there is no sound in the recorded video (or it is recorded with distortion). In this case, disabling the “In-Game Overlay” function and then re-enabling it helps.

Using ShadowPlay and the benefits of the program

In order to configure and then start recording using ShadowPlay, go to NVIDIA GeForce Experience and click the appropriate button.

Using the switch on the left you can enable or disable ShadowPlay, and the following settings are available:

• Mode- the default is background, this means that while you are playing the recording is continuously being made and when you press the key keys (Alt + F10), the last five minutes of this recording will be saved to the computer (the time can be configured in the item "Background recording time"), that is, if something interesting happens in the game, you can always save it. Manual - recording is activated by pressing Alt + F9 and can be carried out for any amount of time; by pressing the keys again, the video file is saved. Broadcasting on Twitch.tv is also possible, I don’t know if they use it (I’m not much of a gamer).
• Quality- the default is high, which is 60 frames per second with a bitrate of 50 megabits per second and using the H.264 codec (screen resolution is used). You can independently adjust the recording quality by specifying the desired bitrate and FPS.
• Soundtrack- you can record sound from the game, sound from the microphone, or both (or you can turn off sound recording).

I-2="">Checking video game and desktop recordings

The recording results themselves are in the video below. First, a few observations (it’s worth considering that ShadowPlay is still in BETA version):

1. The FPS counter that I see when recording is not recorded in the video (although it seems that in the description of the latest update they wrote that it should).
2. When recording from the desktop, the microphone did not record, although “Always on” was set in the options, and it was set to “Always on” in Windows recording devices.
3. There are no problems with the recording quality, everything is recorded as needed, it is launched from hot keys.
4. At some point, three FPS counters suddenly appeared at once in Word, where I am writing this article, and did not disappear until I turned off ShadowPlay (Beta?).

The NVIDIA GeForce Experience application allows you to launch live broadcasts on popular streaming services:

The feature is implemented through the updated Share overlay technology, which was previously called ShadowPlay Geforce Experience.

Attention! To get started, you need to create an account and password for Geforce Experience.

You can enable or disable the Share feature in the application settings.

How to enable overlay in Geforce Experience? Go to Options, General section. In the Sharing window, click on Switch. When the button is green, the function is enabled.

Accordingly, you can solve the question of how to disable the Geforce Experience overlay by moving the slider to the position where the switch is gray.

Setting up the broadcast

Before you start live broadcasting to your stream service accounts, you need to make the initial settings for sharing (Share) in the GeForce Experience program.

Open the settings menu in the utility interface by clicking on the gear icon.

Go to the "General" section. On the right side of the interface, select “Settings” in the sharing window.

A window will open in which you need to select “Connect”.

Select a resource to start the stream: Facebook, Google, Twitch or YouTube. Let's look at the example of Twitch.

Enter your account login and password or register a new one. Click “Login” to log in.

To broadcast video via Geforce Experience, you next need to select a server. Open the “Broadcast Mode” section. Select the country where one of the stream servers is located.

Important! To record Geforce Experience videos, choose a country that is geographically closer to your location. This is necessary in order to avoid problems with the quality and signal of the live broadcast.

Further configuration steps are performed through the in-game overlay. You can enable the overlay in GeForce Experience by clicking hotkey ALT+Z during gameplay.

Launch the game and open the in-game overlay. Select “Broadcast” from the menu. Go to the "Settings" section.

In the overlay window that opens, click on the icon social network, on which you want to start the stream. Now you need to select the broadcast quality: low, medium, high and custom.

The higher the quality, the greater the load on the system. If you have weak computer, then choose between low and medium stream quality.

Set the resolution, frame rate and bitrate (bit rate).

Important! If you set a higher transmission speed (bitrate), then broadcast viewers may have problems downloading the video. The best option for good quality streaming images is 2-3 Mbps.

The tool allows you to launch live broadcasts gameplay at 1080p and 60 FPS for the Twitch service and 1440p for the YouTube video service.

Having set the optimal parameters, click “Save” to complete the stream setup process.

Launching a live broadcast

Let's figure out how to stream through GeForce Experience? The live broadcast is launched through the in-game overlay of the program. Press ALT+Z while playing. In the overlay that opens, select “Broadcast Mode” and click “Start”.

The Geforce Experience stream via stream on one of the available platforms has been launched.

Videos and screenshots

ShadowPlay technology, in addition to launching streams, allows you to record videos and take screenshots of games. Let's figure out how to shoot a video with Geforce Experience.

Geforce Experience is recorded via an overlay. Launch the game and open the Share tool by pressing ALT+Z.

Select "Record" and click "Start". You can also press the ALT+F9 key combination to quickly start the process of capturing video from the monitor screen.

To adjust the quality of the original ShadowPlay recording, go to the video settings. Here you can select the quality:

Attention! The higher the quality of the stream recording, the greater the load on the system.

Set the resolution. By default, recording resolution in GeForce Experience is set to Game. This means that video is captured at the resolution that is set in the game settings.

After this, set the desired number of recording frames. There is no need to adjust the transmission speed, since this item applies to streams.

The Instant Replay feature in the ShadowPlay overlay allows you to save the last 30 seconds of gameplay. The tool allows you to record memorable moments while playing.

Geforce Experience makes it much easier to take screenshots while playing. To do this you need to use hotkeys. The default is ALT+F1.

Where are Geforce Experience screenshots saved? The created screenshots are saved in the gallery.

Filters

NVIDIA recently added a Freestyle feature. The main task of the tool is to improve image quality by applying Geforce Experience filters

To activate Freestyle, open the program settings and go to the “General” section. Check the box next to enabling experimental features.

Launch the GeForce Experience overlay while playing. On the left side, select "Filter".

Start adjusting sharpness, clarity, saturation, blur, etc. Any changes you make will affect the image quality.

Search files

After recording a video or taking a screenshot, many users have a question about where Geforce Experience saves the video.

There are several options for searching for source materials:

This program is installed along with the standard driver package from NVIDIA. At the same time, the utility has many functions such as streaming video recording to good quality, broadcast to the global network, filming actions on the desktop. This is good and free program, which can do many useful things. The article will describe all the useful functions.

The utility will be installed automatically as soon as the user downloads the drivers from the official website. The application is available for gtx600 and better video cards. Full list system requirements can be found on the developer's page.

How to Record Video Using Nvidia GeForce Experience

In previous versions of the program, options such as video recording and desktop recording were separated and placed in a separate item. Now you can do this using one menu item, which has slightly increased the convenience of using the program.

The user may be asked to create or log in to an account, which must be done to use all the features of the application. Previously, there was no such requirement, but in the latest versions such a restriction was added.

The function responsible for recording can be called the same as in the picture, or “ Overlay Share», « In-game overlay" It depends on the software version and video card. Desktop recording is enabled separately.

Once the setting is enabled, you can start recording. You can do this by clicking Alt+F9, you can also explore the parameters by calling the recording panel Alt+Z, in which you can control the process directly.

To adjust the quality of the recorded material, you need to click on the entry and go to settings.

Here you can adjust the parameters the user needs. For setting and adjustment sound quality you need to click on the microphone icon. Camera sign is responsible for the webcam, and can also be useful for those who make videos.

When you enable the recording option, several settings will become available. In the section Confidentiality, you can enable work with the desktop. In the hotkey combinations, you can set those that are convenient for the user. They allow you to start and end the shooting process, save the last segment and much more.

Functionality and main advantages of the application

Here we will talk in more detail about the operating modes and functioning of the application.

First of all, the user should configure the mode. IN background, shooting is carried out continuously, and a small (5 minutes by default) piece of recording is saved when you press a key combination. Suitable for those who, for example, play games and want to save only the most interesting moments. Can be set manual mode, then the recording and its termination will have to be activated by the user himself.

Video and audio quality stands for what the title says. The user can leave the standard settings or set those that he needs. You should also configure the sound in the settings. Namely, how to record audio, and when exactly to record a microphone. By default, it is only recorded when the button is clicked.

You can also overlay additional widgets to the video being shot.

The utility is completely free and has a lot of functionality; every user will be able to find useful functions and customize it for themselves.

Do you want to increase the color saturation in your game, increase or decrease the contrast and sharpness of the image? This can be done using NVIDIA Freestyle, a feature available in GeForce Experience for graphics cards. How to enable this feature?

If you've ever installed mods for games or tried to decorate graphics, you've probably come across a tool like SweetFX or ReShade. The tools provide the ability to apply filters to games, allowing you to saturate the color gamut, adjust the contrast, sharpen the image, or add better anti-aliasing.
A significant alternative to these tools has appeared on the market - NVIDIA Freestyle.

This function, built into the NVIDIA drivers, and more specifically into the GeForce Experience software, allows you to enable such add-ons. There are 15 ready-made filters and 38 additional adjustments available, with which you can change the color scheme, adjust color saturation, apply ready-made sets of warm and cool tones, emphasize the edges of objects, improve brightness, increase contrast and affect many other visual elements. These add-ons do not significantly affect the game performance (the loss is 1-2 FPS), but they allow you to customize the appearance to your liking.

Interestingly, NVIDIA Freestyle works without problems in the popular game PUBG. This is especially true because the developers of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds blocked the use of ReShade and SweetFX due to the presence of add-ons that zoomed in on the image, which gave players an unfair advantage.

But the blocking got in the way honest players customize the appearance based on your own preferences. Thus, if you want to improve the graphics of PUBG, then NVIDIA Freestyle will allow you to do this legally and without problems.

How do I enable NVIDIA Freestyle in a game?

As the name suggests, the option is only available for users of GeForce video cards. Not all games are supported, but without problems the tool can be used in more than 100 of the most popular games recent years. A list of games supported by NVIDIA Freestyle is available on the official website.

To use the tool, you need to install software GeForce Experience version 3.12 or higher. If the drivers for the video card were loaded at default settings, then GeForce Experience should already be installed on the computer. If you don't have it on your PC, you can download it from the official NVIDIA website.

To use NVIDIA Freestyle you need to create an account on the site.

After logging in with your account, you need to activate the experimental features option, since NVIDIA Freestyle has not yet been introduced into the stable version. To do this, go to the settings tab (gear icon in the upper right corner).

In the "About" section, select the "Enable experimental features" checkbox. After selecting this item, you need to restart the GeForce Experience program to install the necessary tools, including NVIDIA Freestyle.

After restarting, an update screen will appear informing you that a new version of the program has been downloaded. Please wait while the update to the new version is downloaded and installed. After this, you can move on to using NVIDIA Freestyle.

How to set up NVIDIA Freestyle feature

To use this feature (for example, in PUBG), you need to enable the "in-game overlay" option in GeForce Experience. Make sure that the “In-Game Overlay” option is selected in the program settings.

Launch the game you want to change the appearance of (check that it is supported by NVIDIA Freestyle). During the game, press the ALT+Z key combination. The vertical Filter panel appears.

Here you can configure settings related to the application of various filters. By default, filters are disabled.

3 styles are available to customize for your own purposes. This means that for each game you can make three settings presets (for example, on various cards in multiplayer games).

Select slot number 1, then expand the Filters tab below. On this tab, all add-ons are divided into thematic categories. It is possible to add any number of filters - select one of them and click the plus button. The filter will appear below in the list of added ones.

Each filter can be precisely adjusted. For example, when you add “Color”, you will have three controls at your disposal that change the saturation and intensification of colors. In the “Details” filter, sliders are available to control the level of image sharpness and brightness, transparency, and HDR toning. For special effects, you can enable, in particular, vignette and additional color enhancement.

After adding a filter, you need to expand it in the list and use the sliders to configure specific graphics settings. This way, you can mix different filters and customize the look with different adjustments.

There are thousands of combinations - you can enable just subtle image adjustments, such as cooling or isolating color, or adding brightness effects to subtly affect the appearance of the game.

After installing everything, close the drawer by clicking the “Done” button in the lower left corner. You can enable or disable the use of filters at any time - to do this, extract the panel again via ALT+Z and select the appropriate position.

If the in-game overlay in GeForce Experience does not turn on on your computer, then you should not rush and install alternative software. You can try to solve the problem yourself, especially since it is not so difficult to do. Today we will tell you what this ShadowPlay function is and what you need to do if this function does not work.

What is an In-Game Overlay?

The in-game GeForce Experience overlay is a special feature that is used to record video, stream broadcasts of what is happening on the computer, take screenshots and video recordings from the Desktop. This solution is characterized by minimal consumption of computer resources, which is especially useful when recording game progress. This technology is also called ShadowPlay or Share overlay.

Video capture option – ShadowPlay

• More and more experienced gamers are using this technology. GeForce Experience also recently introduced a new experimental feature - .

What should I do if the overlay does not turn on?

First of all, you need to determine whether the function is missing initially or whether it disappeared during the process. Where should I start? Of course, with standard procedures.

If ShadowPlay didn't work initially

If these steps do not help you, then there is a possibility that your installed GeForce Experience has problems. Download the previous version or wait for the new update to be released. As a last resort, you can try the beta version of the program.

GeForce Experience in-game overlay no longer turns on

This can be caused by various problems and bugs. If standard actions do not help, then you should try rolling back the video driver to the previous version. If this is impossible, just remove the driver and try to start the game. You can also try a clean installation of earlier drivers. In addition, installing a previous version of GeForce Experience will help.

Function ShadowPlay Highlights has certain problems compatible with OS Win 7/8. This feature is used in games to record significant events. The developers are already aware of the problem and will fix it in the near future.

In the meantime, each game has its own solutions. In particular, for PUBG you can use the GfeSDK file located at the link: international.download.nvidia.com/GfeSDK.dll. It needs to be placed in the folder: PUBG\TslGame\Binaries\ThirdParty\NVIDIAGfeSDK\Win64, agreeing to a replacement.

Another lifehack from folk craftsmen, suitable in cases where it is impossible to call the ShadowPlay option:

Unfortunately, you will have to repeat this procedure after restarting the system.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are many ways to solve the problem. It is likely that the problem will be resolved with the next driver update. If, after doing everything possible, the in-game GeForce Experience overlay still does not turn on, we recommend contacting NVIDIA support.

In light of recent reports that major online gaming servers will be adding the reshade feature to their banned list, there is an urgent need for alternative means. There is a solution to the problem. True, only owners of NVIDIA video cards can use it. New option– The shade injector is now included in the updated GeForce Experience. Next, we will tell you how to enable and use NVIDIA Freestyle. We’ll also talk about how to set up Freestyle for PUBG.

What is this technology from NVIDIA?

NVIDIA Freestyle technology is a shader injector that supports multiple presets for each game. In this way, you can create several display options in advance to suit different situations. The technology will be an excellent alternative to the banned ReShade.

Freestyle allows you to change visualization parameters by applying both standard filters and using your own settings. This set of tools contains such useful features as night mode, the ability to adjust the image for people with poor color vision. And this is not to mention stylizing the picture using filters. In other words, everyone will find something useful in it for themselves, and, of course, the technology will be in demand among gamers.

How to enable Freestyle?

First of all, you will need to install/update GeForce Experience and all other video drivers. Along with the update, the Freestyle option will also be installed. After that, just turn on the “Experimental Features” checkbox in GeForce Experience, and you can safely launch the game. Why experimental? Because the product is currently at the stage beta testing.

Enabling experimental Freestyle features in the GeForce Experience panel

Well, then everything is simple: with the game window open, hold down the combination “Alt” + “F3” - and now we are in the settings menu. Please note that the recommended presets for games may need to be adjusted to suit your screen to ensure optimal viewing. Not all modern games are supported by Freestyle, but there are still many popular ones:

• PUBG;
• Warface;
• World of Tanks;
• Diablo III;
• Grand Theft Auto V;

Explore full list supported games you can. If the game is not supported by technology, then below we will tell you what to do.

If NVIDIA Freestyle does not work or does not turn on

If the game is not supported by technology

Can I use Freestyle in unsupported games? Of course yes! How to run Freestyle on unsupported games.

The fight against reshade on the part of game developers is intensifying, so it is quite logical that Freestyle is included in the list of unwanted software. However, games do not have the ability to check the functioning of Freestyle on a PC, which means that the modified image remains undetected by anti-cheats and other protection mechanisms.

Freestyle settings in PUBG

Many people successfully activate Freestyle in PUBG, but they don’t know how to set their settings correctly - let’s figure it out. As already mentioned, you need to build on the display on your monitor. The parameters proposed below can be used as a starting point; by further customizing the picture to suit you, you will be able to see enemies better.

• Color: saturation – 80, color change – 5;
• Detail: sharpness – 25, clarity – 52.5, HDR toning –75, blur – 0;
• Other parameters are 0.

• Color: saturation – 50, color change – 0;
• Detail: sharpness – 100, clarity – 80, HDR toning –80, blur – 10;
• Vignette: intensity – 0;
• Special: sketch – 50, color change – 90, vignette – 0.

Don't forget that you can install 3 presets with personal settings at the same time - to do this, in the upper part you just need to switch the cell with the number. Have a nice game!

Nvidia Control Panel, or otherwise Nvidia Update, is universal software that allows users of personal computers with an installed Nvidia video card to manage it, allocate resources in the optimal way, etc. This software works great on GeForce and ION GPUs for both PCs and laptops. If this software is not installed on your computer, you can easily download it from the official Nvidia website. In the control panel, the user will be able to independently set the necessary settings. For example, start or disable Nvidia Update, set the frequency of checks for updates. You can enable or disable notifications about beta drivers for your Nvidia graphics card, and you can even edit game profiles.

Launching Nvidia Control Panel

Unfortunately, some users, even those who have the Nvidia control panel installed, cannot find it, and therefore cannot properly adjust the video card settings. There are two quite simple ways to open this control panel. The first method is that the user simply needs to right-click on an empty space on the desktop, and in the context menu that appears, select “Nvidia Control Panel”. The second method is no less simple than the first. To do this, right-click on the system tray image (arrow in the lower right corner of the screen). After clicking, all logos of programs running in the tray will open. To launch the Nvidia Control Panel, you need to click on the corresponding icon (Nvidia logo).

Problems with Nvidia Control Panel

Some may encounter one significant problem - the driver control panel does not open. There are several solutions to this problem. Firstly, if you have programs installed on your computer that allow you to directly control the monitor, then you need to remove them. They directly block the operation of the Nvidia control panel and it cannot be used. Secondly, the control panel may not open if hardware acceleration is disabled on the computer. It can be enabled in screen properties. And lastly, the driver control panel may not launch if the Nvidia Display Driver Service is disabled. In order to enable it, you need to go to the “Control Panel”, select “Administration” and find the “Services” field. If this service is disabled, then you need to enable it to start automatically.

When launching the popular program “GeForce Experience”, we may encounter the message “Something went wrong. Try restarting GeForce Experience." Many Windows users have encountered this error over the past few years, and causing the problem Factors may vary on each PC. Below we will analyze the most common causes of the problem, and also outline options for solving it.

GFE malfunction

The “Something went wrong, please restart GeForce Experience” error usually occurs when the user’s PC is unable to launch GeForce Experience correctly. The error began to be recorded en masse with the release of GeForce Experience 3.0, which contained a new option and improved performance, and not without various bugs and errors.

The error in question usually occurs due to the following reasons:

• The GFE application is not configured correctly by the user;
• The program body is damaged;
• Nvidia services (in particular, “Nvidia Display Container” or “Nvidia Telemetry Container”) are either not running at all or are not working properly;
• The system has outdated drivers for the graphics card;
• Correct operation of GFE is blocked by antivirus;
• Not installed on the system latest updates for Windows OS.

In some cases, the problem may also be caused by unstable network connection, due to which GFE may not work correctly.

Let's take a look effective ways, allowing you to get rid of the “Something went wrong” error on your PC.

Stop all GFE processes and restart the application

The first step when eliminating “Something went wrong. Try restarting GeForce Experience" try to launch GFE correctly.

Configure Nvidia services

1. Click on Win+R, type services.msc there and press enter.
2. In the list of services, find “Nvidia Telemetry Container”, hover over it, right-click, select “Properties”.
3. In the service properties window that opens, select the “Login” tab, activate the “With system account", then click on "Apply".
4. Now go back to the list of services, find the “Nvidia Display Container” service, right-click on it, select “Properties”.
5. Go to the "General" tab, and set the startup type to "Automatic".
6. Click on "Ok" and restart your PC.

Update existing Nvidia drivers

Also try updating the drivers for your Nvidia video card. To do this, you must first completely uninstall the existing drivers (the popular DDU program will help), and then install the drivers from the Nvidia website.

Helped some users fix the error “Something is wrong. Try restarting GeForce Experience" method of removing all graphics drivers using DDU, rebooting the PC, and then installing GFE. Then you will need to let the program itself update the graphics drivers.

Programs like DriverPack Solution will also help install drivers, scanning the system and installing fresh drivers for the system components of your PC.

Reinstall GFE

Completely remove the GFE program from your system (tools like Your Installer will help). Then install new version program, during installation, select advanced installation, and activate the “Clean Installation” option when installing drivers.

Install updates for your system

In some cases, the lack of recent system updates for your Windows does not allow GFE to work correctly. Click on the “Start” button, select “Settings” from the list of options, then “Update and Security”, and click on the “Check for updates” button. After installing the latest updates, try starting your GFE.

Check the user directory name

Make sure that the name of the user directory located along the path C:\Users\User Directory(the latter will be called differently) there are no Cyrillic or numeric characters. If there are any, it is recommended to rename the specified user directory, restart all Nvidia services, and check the functionality of GFE.

Conclusion

The error “Something went wrong. Try restarting GeForce Experience" usually indicates that there are problems with Nvidia drivers on your system. I recommend following the tips suggested above (paying special attention to working with services), which will allow you to resolve the “Something went wrong” error on your PC.

For several years now, video card manufacturers have been supplying their devices with special programs that allow them to optimize their operation as much as possible. For example, for nVidia video cards This is GeForce Experience, and if you have this application installed, then you should definitely explore its capabilities. You will be able to configure the operation of your video card with maximum flexibility, as well as optimize those computer games games you play using special features. However, all this will not be available to you if GeForce Experience does not start - unfortunately, many users face this problem. Therefore, it is worth looking at how this issue can be resolved without using the help of technical support.

The essence of the problem

If we talk about GeForce Experience not starting, there may be several options. For some users, the program does not want to turn on at all, while for others it crashes upon startup. Someone can use it before certain point or actions, after which the error still appears. In general, quite a lot of different cases have been recorded that lead to unpleasant consequences - even turning off the video card. Accordingly, you need to be able to cope with emerging problems in emergency conditions. You should not improvise, it is better to read the instructions and act in accordance with the recommendations - then you will have a chance to cope with the problem without outside help. So, if GeForce Experience won't launch, what should you do first?

Antivirus check

Naturally, you can run an antivirus to check your computer for malware that is blocking it from starting. However, in most cases this does not work. And in this situation, we are talking about an antivirus not because of virus checking, but because it may be the reason why GeForce Experience does not start for you. The fact is that many antiviruses indiscriminately add various applications to the list of potentially dangerous ones, thereby blocking their launch on the computer. To check if your video card program is in this list, you will need to go into your antivirus settings. If it gets there, you will need to manually remove it from there, and then add it to the list of exceptions so that the antivirus will no longer perform similar actions in relation to this software. But this may not always be the problem, so you need to know what to do when Nvidia GeForce Experience does not start for some other reason.

Problems with new drivers

From time to time you may have problems downloading new drivers for your video card. And then you may definitely have questions about why GeForce Experience does not start, because every person who downloaded the update wants to see improved operation of the device, and not what is happening in this case. But anything can happen: your software center may stop starting, it may turn off altogether, and sometimes even your video card turns off. Then you need to manually kill this process, kill all its “tails,” and then again manually launch it through Windows services. The whole point here is that sometimes the drivers come out not very smooth, and before the developers notice it, many people are already downloading them, installing them and getting a headache. Therefore, use fixes that knowledgeable people make and post on public resources so that people can wait for the official patch from the developers. Therefore, if GeForce Experience takes a long time to start after installation, you better immediately think about the fact that the consequences may not be the most pleasant.

Drivers tab

GeForce Experience has quite a few tabs, each containing useful information, as well as rich customization options. However, in some cases (especially after installing less-than-smooth drivers), one of them can cause you a lot of problems. The fact is that without an official patch, the "Drivers" tab becomes a restricted area. Even if you completely fix your graphics card-related software and it starts again, you only need to go to the driver update tab once and GeForce Experience will stop working again. Therefore, avoid it, and if possible, write in the config so that the program automatically opens on any other tab, for example with games.

English language

Another way to solve the problem, which works for many, but absolutely no one understands why it works, is changing the language. If you change the language to English (for the US region) in the GeForce Experience program itself, the problem may disappear by itself. As already said, this decision has no logical explanation, but it works in many cases, so you should just take the opportunity to fix everything without unnecessary problems. So don't think about why everything works - it's better to take the chance when it presents itself.
