    So, I've been wandering around the interwebs trying to find out why the "optimizations" given to me by GeForce Experience for WoW: WoD are making the game run like crap (teens - 50ish fps). I am starting to wonder what definition of "Optimize" GeForce thinks it is utilizing. With all of the settings on High and nothing on or really utilized in the advanced settings (such as Nvidia HBAO or higher rendering), I can comfortably sit at 144 fps while maintaining over 100fps in raids. Am I missing something?

    The response I found from another similar suffering gamer on Nvdia's support site was to make sure my graphics drivers are up to date. The problem I have with that is that the first driver I tried for the 347.xx series decided I didn't have any Nvidia cards on board and I had to roll back. I haven't tried the new 347.88.

    Not real sure if my signature will show up but I am running the i7-4930MX and GTX-780M SLi.

    Unless you want to use ShadowPlay, which works pretty well, installing GFE is pointless. It is pretty much a worthless piece of bloated crapware. Lately, it seems like NVIDIA's concept of optimized is synonymous with crippled. They've been crippling their firmware since the introduction of Kepler. Battery Saver, GPU Boost and their idiotic "Adaptive" power management mode are all doing a consistently nice job of turning some amazing GPU hardware into a joke.
