    Was GeForce not supposed to be an all-in-one app? I thought that was the purpose.

      I’m guessing this will roll in the features of Nvidia control panel as well. so now we will basically be forced to install their tracking shit for basic feature support.

        Yep, the second paragraph of the article says that the new app will eventually replace both GeForce experience (yay) and the Nvidia control panel (boo).

    Can I not have to log in to download a bloody driver without jumping through a thousand hoops? Can I choose not to use it at all? Probably not, probably still shit.

      Yes and yes. I don’t install this shit and just install drivers directly from nvidias website without logging in.

        I’ve done that before, yes, but I seem to recall it being a lot of hoops to go through. Could be misremembering it, as well though.

          I do it every time I update. It was pretty straightforward last time.

          That’s said, I really hope this new app doesn’t change something or force me to download it to get the same functionality I have now.

    Will it suck less than the current implementation of Shadowplay that detects every app under the sun as a “Game” and doesn’t actually work on my actual games anymore :')

    While this won’t affect me as I don’t currently run nvidia hardware, I am excited to see what new and interesting ways they’ll make the software suck ass.
