I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when that decision was made.
"Let's add friction to all of our users so that the small percentage of those users who do want to sign up to our cloud gaming service won't have any friction."
"Brilliant! Make it happen."
- ahelwer 6y agoYeah. You can always manually check & download the drivers from NVIDIA's website, like people used to do until geforce experience was released. Then there were a few blissful years where it was just a simple auto-updater for your GPU drivers. Then NVIDIA wanted to expand. I guess they view it as a transaction: in return for your login, you get driver auto-updates. Don't like it? Get used to checking the website. I'm thinking I'll go AMD for my next rig. Their linux support is apparently much better.
- bavell 6y agoI'm on the same page as you, just waiting for RDNA2 and Zen3 to drop so I can be free from the garbage nvidia software. I know AMD has had driver issues but at this point idc, I've come to associate nvidia with spyware between this and their awful VM detection practices.
