    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.

        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.

          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.

            Yeah, that’s pretty basic. I seem to recall the option to even search by OS/GPU being fairly hidden, but again, probably just misremembering.

      Yes and yes. I don’t install this shit and just install drivers directly from nvidias website without logging in.

          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.

    Was GeForce not supposed to be an all-in-one app? I thought that was the purpose.

      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.

        Yep, the second paragraph of the article says that the new app will eventually replace both GeForce experience (yay) and the Nvidia control panel (boo).

      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.

    Will it suck less than the current implementation of Shadowplay that detects every app under the sun as a “Game” and doesn’t actually work on my actual games anymore :')

    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.
