Yes and yes. I don’t install this shit and just install drivers directly from nvidias website without logging in.
I’ve done that before, yes, but I seem to recall it being a lot of hoops to go through. Could be misremembering it, as well though.
I do it every time I update. It was pretty straightforward last time.
That’s said, I really hope this new app doesn’t change something or force me to download it to get the same functionality I have now.
