How about just let us download our fucking drivers through a regular package manager like all our other updates you privacy raping shit gibbons?

Imagine if your GPU drivers just updated through your package manager. We could have so much automated shit but Nvidia needs tk collect your personal data so heres a web page disguised ss an app. I fucken hate this shit.
Fucking finally. Their current one is trash.
Hope they also add overclocking and stuff too, like in AMD's control panel. And remove the telemetry bs.
Great...now I need an account just to set my display resolution. How long until the 4k setting costs 5$ a month?
I mean, cool, they're finally replacing Geforce Experience, one of the worst pieces of software ever made.
But they're replacing it with shit that commits all the same crimes. Locally run webserver hosting web interfaces and a website running in a packaged Chrome accesses. Instead of something utterly wild like oh I don't know, actually building a piece of software not a web page!
Also it still commits the cardinal crime of letting 11y old me do the design and what I thought was "COOOOOL!", instead of just, you know, looking like an app. In the design language of the OS. Which would be wild, I know.
If they're replacing GeForce experience.... Is that going to break moonlight?
By itself, yes. GameStream is EOL. And this is said end, it seems.
Your replacement option is Sunshine, or switching to using a steam link setup.
one of the worst pieces of software ever made
That's kind of an understatement.
I fucking work in web development, and I’d rather a UI for a desktop app be built in a native coding framework.
It doesn’t even connect well to all the system level shit it needs to do. EA’s app had a million issues with this.
Hey at least you won't have to sign in anymore just to get automatic driver update checking.
But being forced to create an account for basic software features is my favorite part!
That is true. I will say, even with all the features dropped, this is a step in the right direction.
It's a small one overall, but credit where credit is due, this shows promise. Just wish the underlying architecture were better, it's still based on the packaged chrome thing.
if nvidia spent as much time on their drivers as they do on their failed software attempts the drivers might actually work
At least you can still download just the driver. Its literally just bloatware from your graphics card manufacture.
You can try, but those assholes will keep trying to get your data
Just on install, the legal stuff you need to accept is just creepy af. Next time i will get a AMD graphics card, it has a lot more open drivers ( especially because i am a linux user )
Good, I've unchecked movies experience so many times
Any recommendations for fine tuning Sunshine to match Nvidia's local Gamestream? I haven't had much luck in getting Sunshine to run as smoothly at 4K 120Hz HDR 150Mbps via LAN as Nvidia's deprecated streaming server software, so have to slow to migrate over.
Sunshine/Moonlight should perform better than Gamestream at the default settings.Try turning down your bitrate. 4K will work fine at 100Mbps.
Uh sunshine is usually MORE performant, not less. I would suggest heading to the Moonlight/Sunshine discord server and requesting help there.
Personally I have no issues streaming 4k@60 150mbps on a wired connection with moonlight and sunshine. Would try @120 if I had a display that supported it lol
