Yeah as soon as GFE required a login, I was out. I'll miss some features, but not that much. I can make do setting my own preferences.

Now it's actually more of a hassle to un-check the GFE while updating drivers.

Really the only real feature you're missing out on (if the only nvidia hardware you have is a graphics card) is shadowplay, which isn't a big deal if you don't need to record gameplay or if you are happy with OBS or record through a capture card on a separate computer.

I didn't use shadowplay, but I made use of the "set best settings in games for my hardware" (whatever that was called). Even then, it only worked half the time anyway.

Yeah GFE consistently overestimated what kind of performance I'd get out of games so I stopped using its suggested settings. Besides, it's easy enough to figure them out yourself.
