Nvidia has just rolled out GeForce Experience 2.0, the latest and greatest version of its integrated application, which now allows for much better gameplay streaming, even straight from the Windows desktop, not to mention better Twitch support and much more.

The Geforce Experience was released last year as an ambitious program that easily suggested owners of Nvidia graphics cards the perfect settings for their games so that they run as well and as smoothly as possible.

Since its initial release, however, things have progressed at an advanced pace and lots of brand new features were added to the GeForce Experience, such as Nvidia's own ShadowPlay technology that allows seamless gameplay recording, archiving, or streaming via services like Twitch.

"Since its release last year, GeForce Experience has been installed on over 35 million GeForce GTX PCs. On each of those systems GeForce Experience optimizes game settings for peak performance, automatically downloads the latest drivers and game profiles, streams games to NVIDIA SHIELD, and enables players to capture in-game action with GeForce ShadowPlay, which has now recorded over 4 million clips for GeForce Experience users," Nvidia has said about its popular app on its website.

Now, Nvidia has just confirmed that the GeForce Experience 2.0 has just been made available with all sorts of brand new features designed to smooth gameplay streaming as well as allow capture on notebooks and other such things.

First up, the ShadowPlay streaming tech has been augmented with support for desktop capture, meaning players will be able to record footage before they actually enter a fullscreen game, which should prove handy when playing Minecraft or League of Legends, for example.

Better Twitch streaming controls are available, including broadcast quality settings, support for 16x10 native resolution, as well as better compatibility with microphones and other such accessories.

ShadowPlay now also works on notebooks but recent configurations are supported. All GeForce GTX 800M and 700M notebooks work with ShadowPlay while GTX 680M, GTX 675MX, GTX 670MX, and GTX 660M GPUs are at the bottom of the support list.

These same notebooks will also be able to support the GameStream technology, which can broadcast gameplay from that laptop to the Nvidia Shield handheld platform.

Last but not least, GeForce Experience 2.0 also brings Remote GameStream tech, which allows a computer to run a game and stream it over the Internet to a Shield owner anywhere around the world.
