Can I not have to log in to download a bloody driver without jumping through a thousand hoops? Can I choose not to use it at all? Probably not, probably still shit.
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.

Well you have to know the model of your graphics card and your operating system. If you don’t know those things, you will have to either figure it out or download the app so it can detect that information automatically.
Was GeForce not supposed to be an all-in-one app? I thought that was the purpose.
I bet GeForce didn’t do the data collection they want, and it was too much trouble to try and shoehorn it in, so they built a new app. I bet there’s user data collection in there related to their AI business.
My pihole has thousands of blocked requests to
And I’ll be glad to add whatever else they eventually add.
I’m guessing this will roll in the features of Nvidia control panel as well. so now we will basically be forced to install their tracking shit for basic feature support.
I’m running the beta of this right now. You still need NCP, because nowhere near all of the control panel options are actually in the new app. It’s just a handful of basic options.
While this won’t affect me as I don’t currently run nvidia hardware, I am excited to see what new and interesting ways they’ll make the software suck ass.
Gross.
Another shitty app to download so I can update my drivers
