Unpack it and delete it's installer would probably work. Smile

That's how I install AMD's drivers without some of their extras.
(The VC++ runtimes for one thing as I have newer ones installed, Raptr too but they stopped with that a while back.)

No. Nvidia's installer will do what it wants (kinda like Microsoft), regardless of what you have unchecked, unless it can't find the shit in first place, hence, we delete it beforehand Wink No 'backend' shit, nor GBloatEx, none of the 3D Vision/HD Audio bull, yes that's right Nvidia, just the driver set, thank you please Smile

The above directory layout is all you need for a clean install of driver & px only. After every download of package, I delete all till I have the above, have done since day jot, and will continue to do so.

Latest drivers BEFORE:



Latest drivers AFTER:



NVI2 is needed for menu graphics and setup, else they install fine.


There are 2 new extra dodgy things I note in this set. nodejs & NvTelemetry folders?? What?, lol, OK. Deleted also.

You don't even need PhysX, just install these (they won't get ever uninstalled) and NVIDIA installer will tell no PhysX installed.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.13.0604-legacy-driver.html

All new PhysX drivers have always sucked. Borderlands and Metro 2033 have issues with framerates, but all good with the legacy ones.

If you got a PhysX game that gives framerate drops, it's because you don't have these and use the ones that comes bundled with drives Cool

nah, they allow you, but it still installs extra stuff silently. like the new telemetry service.

i personally just do driver+phsyx and then GFE, as I have need for the recording part of GFE.

for anyone whos wondering what the:

NVDisplay.Container.exe

is, its the service for the right click icon to the controll panel..anyway, someone posted a nice powershell script, so you can use NVCP manually..

Quote:

Copy paste this into a text file and save as all files with name NVCPL.ps1.

Quote:

Code:

param([switch]$Elevated)

function Test-Admin {
$currentUser = New-Object Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal $([Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent())
$currentUser.IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltinRole]::Administrator)
}
if ((Test-Admin) -eq $false) {
if ($elevated)
{
# tried to elevate, did not work, aborting
}
else {
Start-Process powershell.exe -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList ('-noprofile -WindowStyle Hidden -noexit -file "{0}" -elevated' -f ($myinvocation.MyCommand.Definition))
}

exit
}

Start-Service NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem
& "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Control Panel Client\nvcplui.exe"
Start-Sleep -s 60
Stop-Service NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem
Exit-PSSession
[Environment]::Exit(1)



This script will automatically start the required service, open up NVCPL, and then automatically close the service after 60 seconds.

If you are still inside the NVCPL after 60 seconds, it will close due to required service being terminated.

If you want to change how long it waits to close the service change the line "Start-Sleep -s x", where X is the number of seconds

Make sure you have default open with set to powershell or it will open with notepad instead.
Or you can right click for context menu and select run script.

Copy the script over to your documents folder and create a shortcut to your desktop if you want to change the icon to the NVCPL icon.

NVIDIA Adds Telemetry to Latest Drivers

Q: What data does GeForce Experience send to NVIDIA?
A: The application collects data needed to recommend the correct driver update and optimal settings, including hardware configuration, operating system, language, installed games, game settings, game usage, game performance, and current driver version. If a user is signed into an NVIDIA account, the data is identifiable. All data collected is protected by NVIDIA's privacy policy.

Q: Does NVIDIA share data collected by GeForce Experience outside the company?
A: GeForce Experience does not share any personally identifiable information outside the company. NVIDIA may share aggregate-level data with select partners, but does not share user-level data.

Nice, thanks!

Though i just went with your posted minimal solution with the three folders now. And instead of Shadowplay i'm using OBS. It's not as comfortable, but still better than nothing for me.

same as me..
i do also use OBS as an alternative..

And its the only one for me that doesnt cut down my fps. none, "0" fps drop..

with shadowplay i had drops, same with afterburner..

dunno whats diff. about OBS, but its clearly a very good performance recording software, with good to high quality standarts..

what settings are you using Bob?

@3E74
I'm using OBS Classic, as Studio didn't offer the Replay feature. Which is similar to Shadowplay.
I also use the NVENC codec, as with that the CPU usage is only ~3%, compared to H264. 20k Bitrate is good if you want to record fast games, like shooters. As i noticed video-blocking at lower rates.

Settings:
 Spoiler:
 


And if you want to automatically start the program and the Replay feature here is the .vbs script i use:
Code:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "D:\OBS\OBS.exe", 2
WshShell.AppActivate "Profile: Standard - Scenes: scenes - Open Broadcaster Software"
WScript.Sleep 5000
WshShell.SendKeys "{END}"
