I use it works very well. I like how it lists old drivers too so you can pick the driver version you want.

Just done a fresh install using this instead and seems to work ok so far, surprised at how much **** and bloat nvidia have, proper dodgy..... Pretty much unselected everything except the display and audio drivers

Really hope they get something new out as their drivers/control panel is beyond awful. Luckily not had any serious issues so far though.

Agree, I know AMD have taken lots of flak in the past but nvidia users dont know how poor they are until they see it.

Haha, so true. If you use NvSlimmer if can remove all the bloat before install, and you don't get that horrible telemetry, or driver overhead in the backround either. Recommend using DDU to fully unistall all current Nvidia stuff, then do a fresh install with NVSlimmer. https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/nvslimmer-nvidia-driver-slimming-utility.423072/

Amds control panel literally is in a different league to nvidias, amazed nvidia haven't done a revamp of them yet given how nearly every software panel is all windows 10/modern looking now.

Absolutely no mention whatsoever of anything being in the works either.....

Yup did a DDU before running nvslimmer, no more geforce experience!

Control panel itself still takes a good 5 seconds to load though :o
 
It is the first version of it kind to support newer features and it was ripped from the latest Win 10 DEV or CAN build so it is not supported by Nvidia for general use..
 
For some weird reason, I had "openCL" unticked in GPU-Z. Rightfully so, I couldn't run OCCT's VRAM stress test.

I tried DDUing, in safe mode, tried 3 different drivers, tried everything I can imagine to solve the issue. No matter what I did, I couldn't make OpenCl ticked.

As a lest resort, I just wiped C, reinstalled and boom it is there this time...

But GPU-Z still says my 3070 is on dx12_1 feature level in dx12 tab, so I don't know if i'm still gimped or not lmao
