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.
