Neckbeard joke? No, I just thought this picture was ironic and hilariously awesome. PCMR!

Neckbeard jokes. Boy you're original.
Now would be a good time for them to issue a statement about how they misjudged what the community wanted or some other nonsense like that. I wouldn't expect them to backtrack on this, they've done similar (or worse) things already and showed no remorse.after all the backlash, I think Nvidia will reverse course on this and keep things the way they are...locking drivers behind some silly program is setting a bad precedent...forcing people to do anything will never turn out well from a public relations and practical standpoint

So it looks like you'll be a member of the 10% group that downloads drivers once every quarter from Nvidia's website.
If they pull this shit I'll be the member of the group that shows a huge middle finger to nvidia, and
a. get the drivers from unofficial sources
Is this something hackers / tech-code enthusiasts can disassemble and release as stand alone? I an wait a few days for these scene drivers
I only install the main driver and physX, I don't need anything else.
Can you block all those services or straight-up delete the files without breaking GFE itself?
If it were possible to get GFE to run completely standalone (no background processes) then it would be tolerable.
Meaning, it starts when you load the program, it closes when you end it. No footprint.
I'm cracking up at Factum aggressively defending GFE here.
He's like the pure distilled form of "I'm not having any problems so everyone else must be making it up".

And what about some of the retarded posts some AMD fans have made in this thread? I won't name names, but you know who I'm talking about.I think they forgot to put this on their signature:
Beta drivers before Day 1 drivers?
Hmm... something doesn't seem right here...
Just eyeballing my system, since some of you made me curious, all of the NVIDIA services running in the background on my PC use 40MB of RAM. Total, including GFE.
For comparison...
Battle.net: 102MB
Google Chrome: >1GB
Afterburner: 6.3MB
Origin: 103MB
uTorrent: 106MB
Google Drive: 63MB
I think the people concerned about their system background processes are making a big deal out of nothing.
GFE already notifies its users when there's an update. Nvidia is just removing a feature that already exists... The change benefits no one except maybe Nvidia themselves, ergo it's a bad change. I don't know why anybody would defend it. if you already get your drivers thru GFE, then good for you... But please don't screw over the rest of us.
A lot of the people "complaining" in this thread are known AMD fanboys/trolls. I'm pretty sure that outside a vocal minority of NVIDIA customers, the majority won't care and will appreciate an application that notifies them when driver updates are available and lets them grab it without having to navigate to a website.
There should be 0 services using 0MB of RAM.
Thank you. Because holy crap, this is absolutely incredible. People wanting to return their video cards and screaming like toxic children seems to be the norm in the Nvidia section and it's really fucking irritating.
Ignorance is the new "black" on tech-forums it seems.

I don't give in to bullies. If I were still inside the first 30 days from my purchase I'd return my 980TI right now.
I'd be happy to take it off your hands, I'm looking for one.

Cool, AMD officially confirmed no email address needed for their drivers.

Sure, if you're willing to pay the full retail price I paid for it in the EU. Which comes to about 850 USD.
You've got a freesync monitor, you'd be better served selling the 980 ti and grabbing an AMD gpu. Put your money where your mouth is.
I could simply uninstall those applications or shut off the services if I wanted to.There should be 0 services using 0MB of RAM.
