Who the fuck would use a gaming news site to check for graphics drivers updates? It'd make a lot more sense to just use nVidia's site or simply run the tool yourself once a day/week/whenever. (Ie: Drop it in your startup folder.)

Seems more like a thinly veiled way to increase traffic to PC Gamer than an alternative program.

GOD I wish I didn't have to go all the way into this start menu and type "gefo-" and click a fucking button jesus christ it's so ridiculous i have to close it myself after I update
I'd much rather go out of my way to download some external program sponsored by a gaming journal

I think people dislike the thought of having to sign into the program.
i never update unless there's an AAA game I'm interested in gets a update through it

why risking fucking up drivers that
1. Are working and don't currently need me to freak out over
2. won't get a boost from updating

The "GeForce experience" thing is [B]literal spyware[/B] m8. Not that it's any more difficult to bookmark the nvidia driver website, but just saying ANY alternative to geforce is worth something on principle.

I don't even update then.
The only time I update my drivers is if I am having performance problems.
:v:

Since its sometimes a driver update causing that, tbh this is the best way to go
[QUOTE=dx9er;52676793]What does Nvidia need my Facebook or Google account for? I just want to get drivers, I don't care if you want me to sign up for competitions or your newsletter or anything. I probably haven't updated my drivers for ages just because they want me to sign in to probably get some bloatware shit.
Also, atleast make the program automatic.[/QUOTE]
There is still the good old fashion way of downloading the latest ones of their website.
GeForce experience does more then just updating your drivers, it needs an account system for those extras and GFE was never made only for driver updates but again, none of those features are needed to run your GPU. Deselect GFE during the driver installation and all is good.
Personally I just update via the website and usually keep them reasonably up to date, 1-2 versions behind at best. Never had a real problem with that.
