Nvidia is not doing so well nowadays, with their GPUs not doing so well with the populace. Yet, they still offer their fans a bunch of things that can come in handy, especially if they have an Nvidia GPU installed.

Geforce Experience allows for software optimization, and easy GPU updates, and also gives creators a bunch of tools to record gameplay as well as stream games online.

Widescreen Fixer

MSI Afterburner

A very good program that helps gamers tweak their GPUs. It is also a very good program that lets gamers keep an eye on the performance of their PC.

The best part is that it does not require any specific hardware to work; it works on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs and is not limited to those manufactured by MSI either.

 HWInfo
