This is objectively untrue. I've seen it for myself.

You get a bare bones driver and nothing else. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox... All features that I paid money to have and use daily.

I didn't spend a bunch of money on a 4090, only to not be able to fully utilize every feature it has to offer.

bare bones driver

is that not a pro? i don't want bloatware with drivers.

you can install all the features you mention separately if you want to use them, and they work on both amd and nvidia drivers.

Normally I would agree, but Nvidia's tools have come a long way since the GeForce Experience days (goodbye and good riddance to that garbage app).

The features in the Nvidia App are all useful things that I like and enjoy. I'm sorry but I just cannot go without the Nvidia App. It's too fucking good.
