RIP Gamestream?
I never realized how stupid GeForce Experience was until I built a PC for someone and realized I’d have to explain to them that they need to register an account on a special software just to keep their GPU driver updated.
Even with the insanity of Nvidia on linux, all I have to do is sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia once and let dnf handle updates automatically.
The RTX HDR is fucking lit, especially on emulators cause reshade HDR just was, alright.
Gamestream was already killed, no? I had to install Sunshine to carry on using Moonlight on my Nvidia Shield.
Thank you for the info. I just got a Shield. Steam Link works alright but couldn’t for the life of me configure Moonlight with GeForce experience.
Steam Link performance was terrible for me. Like half the frame rate and crunchy as hell. No idea why. I assume it was using CPU rather than GPU, or maybe using too much GPU…
GFE worked for a bit (until Nvidia killed it) but would often use the wrong monitor with no way to configure it.
Is it another electron app?
Geforce Experience had a non-zero percent influence on my choice to go radeon this time around. I doubt this replacement would fare any better, by the sounds of things.
It’s completely optional. All the real driver options are in the control panel.
Given how atrocious it is to download drivers from their website…
You’re mostly right but damn, their offerings aren’t pretty.
I haven’t used NVIDIA for drivers in years. You can use NVCleanstall to install them without all the crap.
Using the Radeon software is such a good experience. I never had any issues with it or the driver, they are looking clean, are responsive and actually helpful.
Hope that you get a similar experience, for how expensive Nvidia is it should be mandatory to have a good software…
Nvidia experience has gotten so bad that I actually download drivers manually from the site again. It should not take 3+ minutes to start a program that does virtually nothing and THEN make me login to even fucking use it - just to update the driver.
I’m using NVCleanstall, it let’s let’s you configure exactly what components you want installed or not. Can even choose not to install the HDMI audio driver if you don’t have a need for it.
Their normal installer allows the hdmi to be removed too, was so happy when I discovered that because I want my monitor to act as speakers exactly never
