This is particularly funny when you consider that Windows Update will automatically update your graphics drivers once they go through WHQL. Manually installing drivers from Nvidia's website is actually a user experience downgrade, since Windows Update won't touch graphics drivers you pull in yourself.
For the record: I ended up biting the bullet with Geforce Experience regardless, because of the other features they had on offer that were tied to the app. It left a bad taste in my mouth and I ultimately dropped Nvidia cards entirely for AMD. Switching to AMD in turn made dropping Windows easier! (arch user btw)
- sippeangelo 6y agoIt's extra hilarious since Geforce Experience is an electron app you can just path out the login window yourself and be on your way :) https://github.com/Moyster/BaiGfe https://github.com/Moyster/BaiGfe

- wvenable 6y agoWhat? That's awesome. I don't really care that much about having an account but the Geforce Experience app requires me to re-login every few months and I always have trouble remembering the password. It's just a hassle all the time.
- eznzt 6y agoThe drivers from Windows Update are absurdly out of date. If you play recent games you'll have serious bugs and performance regressions.
