My 550Ti card can't do any of that anyways. Just update drivers manually.

So... don't update something I don't even use. No prob. Done and done.

e - Hold up, I'm not trying to be snarky and shitty, but that sounded way snarky and shitty. I absolutely appreciate you bringing this to light, because I'm one of those idiots that often times just clicks next next next. That being said, I never did dig how nVidia wants to "optimize" my games for me, I'm fully capable (for most things changeable) of doing that on my own to my own preferences. But like I said, thank you for bringing it to my attention! I'll do well to keep an eye on it.

All technology has been drifting this way. You can't trust your Microsoft OS. You can't trust your Android or iPhone. You can't trust your web browser.

We've lost the war. Corporate greed and government spying will always win.

So what you're saying is we need to decentralise the net?

And cpu manufacturing, gpu manufacturing, motherboard manufacturing, OS systems, etc etc. The list is endless and the powers that be are encroaching on every front.

Yes. What I'm saying is we should go out and riot in the streets and start fucking dragging these asshole politicians and Fortune 500 CEO's out and beating them for their betrayal of our citizens.

Globalization is ruining the world man.

I'm in favor of corporal punishment for those responsible, unless they correct the problem.

Hol up fam. I'm AMD user and don't care about game recording. Is there another software to use for this or you have to use Shadowplay?

There is a lot of video recording/streaming software out there, so you aren't limited in use. Shadowplay was just a little more efficient and easier.

Thanks for the response. Well now, it appears that Nvidia just decided to make Shadowplay a little more shittier to use. Good to know to avoid them if I decide to upgrade.

It was about a year ago. Lots of people complained, but since most people are still going to buy Nvidia cards, they did it anyways.

Can the data collection be reverse engineered to feed false data?

Probably, but their system would learn those patterns and eventually be able to throw that data out with good enough accuracy.

well, I don't know how programs access this data. From the registry? Some shared DLL? You would only have to fool those places which it is accessed from, or the calls at least.

That would make for an awesome AdBlock type application. An application which would feed false data to any other application seeking it directly from your computer without your permission.

I don't own a nVidia card, but I have to say that such thing annoys me. A mandatory account for drivers? fuck you. I mean c'mon I just need a soft that will enable my gfx card to work properly with OS. Driver is the software in case, so why create account? I myself could care less about rewards and prizes. I do definitely care about my privacy. So hell no to this.

If amd tries this with their Radeon Settings Software, I'll rant about it.

I hope nvidia users will get their shit together and fight this corp.

To be exact, you don't need an account (yet) just for drivers. You can still d/l them yourself from the NVidia website.

The account and spying go along with GeForce experience, which supposedly automatically sets the optimum settings for your games and your system. Until I uninstalled GFE a few weeks back, I always bumped them up from the recommended settings anyway. I think they lowballed everything to make me want a higher powered card. I have a 970. I think my next card will be AMD, but I hate the shorty way they do card numbering.

Guess I exaggerated about drivers dl that need a mandatory account, but still as you mentioned (yet). It may not be now, but eventually they could introduce this. And I hate to say this may come sooner rather later, I hope amd will not come to this.
