Nvidia Gurus!

[Efour]

Hi,

Can someone point me towards what of this i actually need to have installed or what services running. (what can i kill off entirely?)

I don't stream to tablets, i don't live stream games, i don't want to record game videos, i don't do anything but play the game...

Ive fresh reinstalled a gtx 680. I was having major out of memory issues. Something would turn on and slowly eat my memory until the PC fell over and died. (streaming service? something i don't need)

Thanks ! I can fiddle with this for hours but i might aswell just get someone in the know to set me straight.

You can uninstall the 3D Vision stuff if you don't need 3D (the stereoscopic kind), a lot of the rest is tied into GeForce Experience so if you use shadowplay you'll need it - think it automatically restarts the other stuff even if your not streaming, etc. :S (EDIT: From the description of your use you can probably uninstall GeForce Experience entirely and take some of the crud with it).

HD Audio drivers are only needed if your sending audio out over HDMI, etc. to a monitor/tv otherwise you can uninstall them fine - I don't even bother with them.

I believe nvnetworkservice is used for updates and finding media devices on the network, etc. so you can probably force kill it if you want (I usually just leave it running).

GFX driver and physx is all you need. You can select what you need before installing drivers.

I'd get rid of,

Both 3d vision. (assuming you don't use 3d)
HD Audio driver. (this can stop some instability I've found)

GeForce experience if you don't use any of it.

I only tick the physx and GRX driver boxes

Make sure you tick the clean installation box.

Make sure you tick the clean installation box.

I've never done that bud and never had any problems because of that. My problem with that is I lose all my settings for games

you can disable most of the unwanted nvidia services in services

start menu search services find the service you don't want and right click select disable.


doesn't uninstall it but will turn it off.
