This is such a great thing to wake up to….
So NVIDIA seems to be pushing their ‘GeForce Experience” software down our throats, to compete with AMD. And because of this, they’re now blocking all future ‘Game Ready Drivers'(as they call them) behind an account. A free account, mind you.
So yeah, just what I need. Another Username/Password to remember. And if that’s not bad enough, other people are saying this could potentially be another breach in our privacy. Meaning, companies that depend on these ‘Game Ready Drivers’ to make these games as compatible as possible with your computer, will have access to what you like and stuff.
Also, some people don’t like this ‘GeForce Experience’ software, calling it “bloatware”. I personally, have no issue with it. It doesn’t seem to bog down my system that much more.
But what I’m worried about is, first they force you to make an account… what’s next? Forcing you to pay for these GPU drivers? Installing adware or microtransactions on your computer, to where it shows ads while you’re just letting your computer idle?
If this is the case, it might be time to finally say goodbye to Nvidia, and hello to AMD. As in, to swap my Geforce GTX for an AMD Radon.
Personally, I don’t like these “Game Ready” drivers. I liked it in the past, when the drivers are numbered instead of it feeling like “This driver is for this game”. It makes me feel “But I don’t have this game. So… why do I need to update my drivers?” It’s so confusing now.
Back then, when driver updating had more of a need, there was “33% faster with XYZ”, and then showing a list of compatible GPUs(graphics cards). This? This only explains how you can get better speed with THIS specific game. It never mentions OTHER games it can make faster. This is what makes it confusing.
