DO NOT INSTALL THE GEFORCE EXPERIENCE! Here is why

In my experience, the GeForce Experience will kill your frame rates in most games if you use its "optimal" settings, especially if you are running Nvidia SLI. I am seeting a 20%+ frame rate drop in ESO when using the GEForce optiomal settings.
FYI: I am running 2x eVGA GTX 980 TI fTW SLI and the Nvidia GeForce Experience optimal settings can bring even mighty GTX 980 TI FTW SLI to its knees. Yes, that is right, those settings can even humble the mighty Maxwell.
