I install Nvidia drivers using NVCleanstall and leave GE uninstalled since I never really use it. Do driver updates that include game optimizations still apply?

I believe you don't get Shadowplay without it, so if you need game recording / replay without impacting performance it's worth installing. But I would recommend the nvidia app beta instead of geforce experience as it doesn't require a login.

Other than that you don't get any optimizations by installing geforce experience, other than its game settings tuner thing which doesn't work at all.

Thankfully steam just put out a new beta for built in game recording

These days most apps vaguely related to gaming have a DVR function, so that might not be a pressing thing to keep it for. Xbox game bar and soon Steam get that function.

OBS offers practically the same experience with its replay buffer and only uses single digit percent overhead for CPU. Shadow play is maybe slightly more convenient that’s all I can really say about it as it’s been a while.
