The bottom line

Yeah, I'll begin at the end. Deal with it!

GeForce Experience[www.geforce.com] is a tool to automatically scan your system, determine the best settings and, well, set them.

Remember to check the system requirements[www.geforce.com] and if your rig fits, download[www.geforce.com] the sweetie.

Initial setup

So, start GFE and take a look at the settings window.

The default settings are pretty much perfect, except for the folders. You really should follow my setup. Namely including only the Common and [YourSteamAccountName] folders. If your Steam is in the default folder, exclude it.

Preparation

Download the game (duh!) and start it. Quit it right afterwards. Trust me, I'm an engineer!

Execution

Start GFE and right on the front page, you will find a "Scan" button. Use it.

As you can see, Saints Row: The Third is not optimized. No problem, just click the "Optimize" button and viola, graphics settings tailored for YOUR rig. Without any effort on YOUR side!

But it only works for the newer GeForce Models. Not for Quadro's or older cards. Maybe after a future update.

And I wouldn't call it perfect settings, that depends a bit on personal preferences. But yes, they are a lot better then the game defaults. And therefor a better place to start from.

It also offers a really nice game recording feature. Using mostly the graphics card, so way less performance loss while recording.
