There's also a handful of new processes that access the internet embedded in the drivers. I had immediately uninstalled GeForce Experience after seeing the login screen, but the new drivers have:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\Update Core\NvTmRep.exe
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Update Core\NvProfileUpdater64.exe

That is in addition to all the usual stuff they already had for updates and other things. I think it was also sending data from powershell.exe and syswow64\rundll32.exe during install if I remember correctly.

Thank you for the heads up, just opened it and showed that ugly new EULA... uninstalled immediately.

I guess it's manual from now on! (Not a big deal though)

So have nVidia. Except apparently the ads have gotten worse. As in a splash screen worse.

Like I said, when/if that claim becomes easily verifiable, I'll update the OP.

Yeah, nah.

Aussie? :P

I told GeForce Experience to fuck off ages ago. You can always update your driver manually off the nVidia website and I don't want all that other crap anyway.

I was thinking just making fake accounts. Your idea sounds much more thorough. I like it! I would pay money for something like that.

Got an rx480 and a freesync 4k

While waiting for the monitor to arrive I was experiencing some buyers remorse about the heat and performance of the 480.

Freesync is worth it, hell I think gsync would be too, but it costs a lot more. Bottom line though is that everything feels really really fuckin smooth even when my frame rates dip and I still max out nearly everything in 4k and find it playable. My nvidia card got more fps but my 480 just feels better. Some titles like tomb raider and shadow or mordor you might need to play on high instead of ultra. Still worth it.

I'm running 1440p 144hz gsync on a 980ti. It's beautiful and I'll never go back lower.

yeah I was looking at a similar loadout and went for more resolution instead of refresh rate because im not competitively playing and the machine has to do dual purpose as a workstation handling a lot of multitasking.

1440p with 144hz feels like the gaming sweet spot, but I still dont have any regrets, the freesync/gsync are so impressive its hard to describe without seeing firsthand.
