Possible to use NVCleanstall but also use Nvidia App?

With the new shift to Nvidia App, is it possible to still make use of NVCleanstall for a somewhat stripped-down driver install, but not so much that it breaks Nvidia App?

For example, can you still strip out Shadowplay? Or is there anything else that breaks?

Basically, I want to use the new Nvidia App as they're phasing out the older Control Panel, but I also don't want all the gunk the regular driver comes with, hence Cleanstall.

What's the status?

yes, there's a test build here on the forums that does exactly that

My apologies - I thought that test build was still in its infancy and wasn't fully working with the new Nvidia App.

In regards to driver updates while using the Nvidia App - would it be safe to let NV App handle the driver updates after the first initial driver install was performed by NVCleanstall? In other words - does NV App ONLY instal the driver, or does it also install the gunk that comes with the regular driver package too? I hope that makes sense. Or will we have to keep using NVCleanstall and avoid using the inbuilt NV App driver update?
