Even with a good processor and the new video card, it happens that the games are freezing, frozes appear or FPS falls below the usual one. All this can happen if you initially have not been configured by the NVIDIA GeForce video adapter drivers correctly or you have not installed all of them. To check if this, try to execute all the items of this instruction and compare the performance of the games before and after the algorithm passed.

Installing the GeForce Experience application will take from minute to ten, depending on the performance of your computer. This software is official and is the development of NVIDIA. With it you can configure all drivers, graphic codecs, as well as lower or improve the quality of games.

After installation, the application window appears before you, you need to switch from the "Home" tab to the "Drivers" tab. After that, she will light up with green.

In this tab, the application analyzes which drivers your NVIDIA video card is outdated and have more modern analogues. If any, you will see them from above under the Count "Available". Next will be glowing a green button "Download". Click on it with the mouse to start loading.

The process will be displayed in the same place. You can put the download pause or cancel at all. Also, the speed of downloading and the residue megabytes is available.

After a few minutes, you will be graduated from: install the standard driver set by the "Express Installation" button, or choose what is necessary to install, and what is not. Click "Selective Installation".

Now tick all drivers except those glow gray. After that, click "Installation".

Installing updates - a long process may have to wait about twenty minutes until the driver boots and all its components are installed. After installing some types of drivers, you may need to restart the computer or laptop.

As soon as all the drivers are standing and you will see the window, as in the screenshot below, you can go to work with the NVIDIA setup management program. Close the following GeForce Experience.

Now open the tray on the panel from the bottom, clicking on the triangle next to the choice of language.

If you go to the "Software Settings" tab, then you can selectively install a preferred video adapter for each game, but for better performance, it is not recommended to do this.

Go to the third tab of the left called "Installing PhysX Configurations". This utility allows you to improve image quality in games.

Here, the best solution will be to choose the configuration of the "auto break", since the utility itself will decide when the video card is capable of processing this task and it has the required amount of RAM, and when this task is better to give the central processor and do not overload the NVIDIA video adapter.

After all manipulations, restart the computer. Check the performance and FPS of your games. If you have any questions, then through the corresponding window you can contact NVIDIA.
