Not complaining. Just surprised. Last time I bothered checking driver size was when I had 10Mbps connection. The size then was 200MB then I got a 2070 super it was around 500MB. I'm shocked that the drivers now are as big as some games in the 2000s.

not to criticize you per se but since GFE drivers went ~150mb to ~350mgb and since turing (ray tracing) they get rather bulky.

i'd like NV to provide a lite driver but i guess i just use NV slimmer utilities in the meantime
