GeForce experience

so I downloaded JUST the latest driver for my card from Nvidias page. Just the latest driver mind. Not geforce experience and it's gone and installed geforce experience along with it! The cheek!

This is where I installed the "driver" from.

The end of the world as we know it!

On a serious note, that's the full drivers. It doesnt say on the webpage but the release notes (link at the bottom of the page) lists the modules included in the driver.

There is a thing called "Custom Install" where you tick/untick what gets installed.

Didn't think I would need to seeing as how I opted to download the "driver" and NOT geforce experience (on the tab on the left).

I think it's sly.

edit: if you have older version installed

too much fail in this thread.
Read the page, it's not uncommon to select the bits you want and un-check the bits you don't want.

You don't like the defaults? Well, other people do so whatever default values Nvidia use they can't please everyone.

What's the point in creating yet another useless thread?

My point was, I deliberately avoided the "geforce experience" download on their homepage and instead opted for just the drivers on two separate tabs. or certainly what is made to look like just the drivers.
Surely if you specifically don't choose to download Geforce experience and make the conscious decision to instead go to the drivers page. It's shouldn't install experience anyway!

It's all in the same package, just select what you want to install - simples.

Just went to download the driver from amd, guess what, it installed relive and crimson stuff too, Go figure.

But that's fine because it's AMD.

Only Nvidia can do wrong. Don't you know how this works?

so I downloaded JUST the latest windows for my computer from microsofts page. Just the latest windows mind. Not paint and it's gone and installed paint along with it!

Isn't the Geforce experience a good thing ?

Whats the game optimizations like ?

five8five · 9 Dec 2016 at 18:30

There's a big clue there...............375MB!

On a serious note isn't the GF Experience tab just to install it?

The drivers download has always been the "full package" for as long as I can remember.

yeah it is, but it's so much easier to complain, it's not like, god forbid you have a choice ...

This is why choosing 'custom install' in any situation is always a good idea.

Even I'd have cringed if this was posted up back in the day when I was running AMD.
