there's nothing wrong w/ the nvcp. it does exactly what it's supposed to do. no1 needs that bloated garbage anyways.
Rose colored glasses. I could type in ten things wrong with the old nvcp off the the of my head.
Yes no one needs one unified program, but everyone needs 3-4 separate programs to get all the essential functions a GPU user should have. /s
Does the NVIDIA App require login like GFE?
No. Only the rewards tabs requires it for obvious reasons. Otherwise is not needed.
But it won't be. They seem to have shoehorned the driver settings into GeForce Experience, which aside from being telemetry-ridden spyware with a forced online login, is also a labyrinthine pile of crap that runs a ton of processes in the background at all times.
You have clearly not tried it for speaking such nonsense here. There is no forced login and i would not call 6 sub processes as a "ton".
Garbage. It's suppose to be a driver, not a game manager.
Oh. Im sorry but what is the current nvcp then if not a game manager? So i assume you install only the driver without even the old nvcp already?
Why change something that was perfectly fine?
To whom? You? Most people welcome this change.
Oh god, please no. I noticed a definite pattern - once something stops being a “program” or a “panel” and starts being an “app” it instantly becomes about 100x more annoying and less useful to deal with. The NVCP has its issues, undeniably, but it’s a solid piece of software and definitely better than whatever Electron abomination with 25+ active processes we will end up getting.
I know I am being, perhaps, unnecessarily pessimistic, but experience tells me that the new CP will probably be pure cancer.
2 services and 6 sub processes. About 400MB RAM and 600MB disk space.
Why is Nvidia even bothering to do this? They have maybe 1 or 2 more gens left until they pull out of the GPU market and focus entirely on AI.
And throw away 25 years of experience and billions of dollars every year? I doubt that very much.
SpecialK is a cool tool indeed, one of the ways that shows how useful for players the flexibility of PC as a platform is. Kaldaien is… a bit of a prick, to be honest, but that’s just usual modder prima donna behavior. Still a shame Valve denied the tool from being just listed on Steam, would probably widen the potential audience quite a bit.
Seems to be a theme here. MSI AB developer Unwinder is also a prick to many users looking at his replies. Personally i had a good experience when i suggested a feature to RTSS years ago and it was implemented.
What do you mean by outdated though?
Try and find a new program that looks like nvcp these days. Of course it's outdated.
Hi,
Looks like I'll be using the driver I have for the foreseeable future lol
Way to go gimping yourself. Make sure to also keep using a CRT and WinXP too as they fit perfectly with the old nvcp.
I can't find this APP with this driver, downloaded separately.
Well there is nothing there, for a 132MB bloatware this. As if the driver wasn't 2.5GB of crap already.
Still have to bring up Control Panel for 90% of the stuff.
What difference does storage requirements make? Unless you're on a slow/datacap internet or using a very small SSD i fail to see the problem.
But those huge images, thumbnails, lots of scrolling, loads of colours, big and small fonts all over the place - dunno i kinda didn't mind the previous layout. It would have been nice preserving some of that more simpler feel with the above 3 perks included or any other added features (driver update reminders/etc). Maybe Nvidia will throw in a toggle switch to revert back to a more simpler UI. Not the end of the world... i used to hate netflix and its super size me UI, eventually what can you do - we get used to it.
Yes i agree that it should have some sort of compact UI toggle.
Any changes I do with this app doesn't apply at all. It just reverse to default. Also crashes all the time....
I'm on build 24H2-26058.1100 version on which nVidia Control Panel doesn't work either.
If you're living on the bleeding edge you must accept some broken features.
