NVIDIA Adds Five New Features to GeForce Experience
NVIDIA added five new features to its GeForce Experience suite, that helps PC gamers get the most out of their GeForce hardware. It begins with a new in-game overlay, which works much like the Steam overlay, giving you access to cool new streaming, recording, and screengrabbing features. Next up, is the new Broadcast feature, which lets you instantly stream your gameplay to Twitch and YouTube, at 1080p 60 FPS. Recording gameplay is as easy as bringing up the overlay and clicking a button.
GameStream co-op, which was teased recently, lets you stream your game across to a buddy over the Internet, who can take over your game in their web-browser, and get you through the level you're stuck in (you need at least a 7 Mbps Internet connection on both ends for this to work). Lastly, in-home GameStream (which lets you stream your game to your living room TV), can now stream in glorious 4K Ultra HD, at 60 FPS, and with 5.1-channel audio. The "instant replay" feature lets you play back the past defined time period of gameplay as video. The new features go live with the GeForce 358.50 drivers, if you don't see them, make GeForce Experience "check for updates."

I can't keep track of all the services you install without my consent!!!!
And above alle F*CK MASSIVE DRIVER UPDATES FOR SINGLE GAMES
And please let me D/L and install your drivers in English only, do not make me download useless data for multilanguage support.
Stay with good hardware, simple and solid drivers, thats the one AND ONLY reason I buy you.
EDIT: Answered myself....dunno why everyone says Wi-Fi. According to the Anand article, Ethernet is the preferred streaming method in order to reach the consistent speeds necessary.
Also, with the drivers to be only distributed via GeForce Experience come December, it begs the question: What about someone who builds and installs a new system? Obviously there has to be a current driver still available for initial install. Or did Nvidia not think that far ahead?

The thing that I'm wondering about is if Nvidia is going to try to force everyone to use GFE? I don't use it. I optimize my games the way I think is best. I don't mind having to use GFE to update drivers because I don't update very often but if I can't then uninstall GFE or turn it off then that is a problem that buying an AMD GPU next time will solve.
As to optimization, thankfully GFE only recommends and doesn't force it's optimizations for games, because frankly, sometimes it doesn't have a clue. Based on my hardware, sometimes I find their settings too extreme, and sometimes I scratch my head, because half my system could play at the weak settings it will recommend!
Why NVidia why ?
:p
Nowadays everything is wi-fi. I do prefer LAN though.
@rooivalk Yes, I know, but it will never beat an ethernet connection!

You will still be able to get drivers from the website, but they will be on a slower update cycle compared to the ones in the Geforce experience. For some who buy all games right when they launch, that might be a problem, if they do want to update drivers the traditional way. For people like me that only update, if the drivers adds support for a game they will play, or fixes and issue they are having, then getting drivers via the website on the slower cycle won't be bad.
