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.

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’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.

but surely the long term plan is to kill off NCP.

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

telemetry.gfe.nvidia.com

events.gfe.nvidia.com

And I’ll be glad to add whatever else they eventually add.

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.

You can download the driver directly, GeForce Experience isnt necessary.

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.

Support is more likely to cone for AI purposes. They won’t want to be left behind with poor support on the servers that run AI.
