**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Noob questions.

Coming across from amd, not used Nvidia in ages. So judging by the last few pages, avoid the newest driver? Also where does Shadowplay hide? AMDs equivelent just installs with the driver and is in radeon settings. Do I need Geforce experiance for shadowplay? it looks like from Nvidia's page, but I'm not sure.
 
Ok thanks.

Going to swap over tomorrow, so may as well just ask before going to bed. Still advisable to use ddu when switching brands or is it fine these days to just uninstall amd drivers and then install Nvidia.
 
Well, seems to have gone fine. Used ddu to get rid of amd stuff and installed 382.53. All seems to be fine, tested firestrike and played a lot of Rocket league, all seems to be behaving itself.

Not that I spend a lot of time in there, but I have to say unless I missed something, the Nvidia control panel looks a little barebones. I'm sure most of the functionality is in there, but it doesn't look much different from last time I had a system on Nvidia (7800GTX, used until it died). Not really sure what I was expecting, just seems really dated compared to Crimson control panel. The way people carry on, I just expected more than a white box with a list in it I guess.

Got Shadowplay installed, I like how everything gets it's own folder unlike relive which just dumps them all in one place. Seems much the same other than that.
 
Same I like that its minimal and function over style. Most features are there for anything else there are tools like nvinspector.

it could do with a programming overhaul though.

NV control panel can be very slow & cubersome, even turning on Gsync can take 2-10 seconds or apply 3D settings...
IT could be much more streamlined IN today standards

Really incredible that nvidia hasnt done something flashy to it yet.. Maybe the settings will move over to GFE in the future (I really hope not cause I cannot stand GFE)
 
last thing you want is bloated extras.thats one thing i do like about the nvidia drivers.apart from the last lot since the 378 series of drivers have been plagued with issues.especially if on win 10.
 
Hearing some bad things about this latest release but I've been running them since day one and they've been no problem at all. Obviously everyone has a different experience but it's all good here.
