Does my monitor make things more stable? To me, it just tells me what it sees. I don't think it helps much. Nvidia has a page on GeForce Experience that just makes games run better, and they change the settings based on my card... I can't find that page you are using there. It doesn't look like Game Advisor - https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh2-028 nvm, found it here - https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh2-031 its not really a monitor, it's just a compatibility checker so i guess if you adjust the settings for each game in there, it might help performance. I wonder if it needs to run all the time to keep those settings working. It doesn't look exactly the same but its right tabs. Its over 7 years since I used an AMD GPU, its almost due again.

If you change settings for each game, that also adds things like user preferences saved when you first install a new driver. If you don't do this, it won't work well. Before, many versions of drivers didn't help with stability. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Nvidia has the same thing too. I haven't had cards from that green team for a while in one of my rigs. The driver and control panel always run, even if there aren't controls or shortcuts to use during gaming.
