Nvidia GeForce Experience 3.0.2.190 Beta
This new beta offers a sleek new UI and performance improvements offering a much speedier startup and scan time. I noted the program filesize has increased by 17MB, part of the reason for this is increase in supported languages from 29 to 53.
I'd advise people to NOT follow the popup and auto-optimise all your titles at once, instead keep the choice on a per title basis to see exactly what is changed - remember the automatic settings can be configured depending on your PC specs if it's too demanding or you want full eye-candy. You don't have to use Experience for tuning at all and could use it for streaming, screenshots or launching games directly.
For more information on installing the new GeForce Experience I've included several screenshots in this spoiler...

This is the popup screen that greets you if you already have Experience installed, if it didn't popup you either haven't been selected yet or aren't in the beta program therefore please check settings is enabled for beta participation for entry or download via the link in this post at the end.
Popup explains an issue where it detected Steam was running, however clicking next didn't close Steam as it would suggest. Make sure you aren't running Steam/Origin/GOG/uPlay, etc before you update. The reason I mention this too is that if you updated via Experience it would have already uninstalled all components related to Experience needing you to manually download the application. You don't get a retry either as it just quits, this should be fixed come stable release and Nvidia has been made aware of this.
Installation took longer than normal but was otherwise straightforward.
The new splash screen logo, this means I'll need to replacement our current Experience logo [done].
Showcasing the GTX 1080 giveaway that has been touted for months, in fact way before Pascal. Note that AMD's Raptr has been doing giveaways (under Rewards tab, image) for a long time now but never taken on by the wider gaming community.
If you already have an account with Nvidia log in using those credentials, ie forum account works iirc, otherwise create a new account. Even if you have an account you still need to verify this with Nvidia.
This is the popup where I advised earlier NOT to auto-optimise all your titles. Behind this popup is your new layout, think Steam's Big Picture mode.
If you didn't like the large covers you can always switch to the old mode by going to the top-right hand corner and under your name toggle Details/Tile. Unfortunately you can't hide the image slideshow as you could previous versions by sliding it and making it easier to see all your options.
Please note that if you already have GeForce Experience installed you can normally update directly via that method otherwise update manually with the direct link provided at the end of this post.
