Nvidia GeForce Experience and Overclocked Cards

Hello all, I recently used MSI Afterburner to OC my GPU. I didn't go crazy on it and gained about 6 FPS and gained 1 degree in temperature on my Alienware Alpha i3. For some crazy reason I had never updated my drivers so I did it today. I noticed that Nvidia has the ability to optimize certain games you own, but was worried a bit about how it reads the card. Is it optimizing to my overclock set up or is it optimizing to accepted factory settings. The only reason I'm at all concerned is the Alpha runs hot. A number of games run at 79 degrees without the OC and about 80 to 81 degrees with it (before I let Nvidia optimize the games). I noticed it set some games higher than the settings I had come up with, but I also realize I don't understand what half the settings do in games other than it says by lowering this you will improve performance. I have a couple of higher end games that run on the Alpha but the extra 6 fps is actually helpful. Any knowledge of how the GeForce Experience reads the GPU would be great. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I would imagine base settings, I believe they have a database of performance testing they have performed with all sorts of different hardware and match it up to what ever your system has listed. I don't think they go into the level of detail your wondering about.

FYI I was able to determine that the max temp on my 680m is 98 degrees so not as concerned about the 80 to 81 temps I'm getting but I would still be interested in knowing if the Nvidia GeForce Experience optimizes based on the Overclock or factory settings. Thanks
