Nvidia’s new app doesn’t require you to log in to update your GPU driver

Removing little-used features also improved responsiveness and shrank the size.

@arstechnica this is great! Now they just need to drop the app.

@arstechnica If you want to make it more responsive and shrink its size, how about getting rid of all this bloatware, make it a proper PC application like it was for probably close to two decades now, and just generally implementing it properly like they used to do a long time ago?

I don't know why GPU drivers have to be such a bloated mess these days. All we need are a few simple settings. All the other stuff is just wasting resources for things you don't even really see or use.

@arstechnica And yet I still have to remove their damned app from the startup and disable their unnecessary services on my gaming machine if I want my games to run smoothly.

ALL I WANT IS A VIDEO CARD AND A DRIVER, NOT GIGABYTES OF OVERHEAD. Seems like I shouldn't have to explain that.
