Over the past few years, Nvidia has made a number of changes and improvements to its GeForce GPU companion software, GeForce Experience. If you own an Nvidia graphics card, GFE governs the use of a number of features, including in-game video recording, Shield streaming, Battery Boost, and game optimizations. The company is making several new changes to the application today, and announcing a major change to how it distributes driver updates that could have far-reaching implications.

Quote :
In the future, only GeForce owners who both install GeForce Experience and register the service by providing Nvidia with an email address will have access to Game-Ready driver downloads, which will be pushed exclusively through GFE. That doesn’t mean you won’t be able to download a driver from Nvidia.com — it just means that the drivers on the website will be updated periodically, not on a per-release basis. Nvidia has stated that it will push a new driver through its website at least once a quarter, but it hasn’t ironed out the exact timing details yet.

Nvidia was quick to reassure us that users could choose to stop providing an email address to GeForce Experience and opt-out of the program, but noted that you’ll lose access to Game-Ready drivers if you do. As a reviewer, I agree that the burden of providing the company with an email address is minimal and GeForce Experience is a well-behaved, useful utility. The only thing I dislike about it is that you have to have it installed in order to use Nvidia’s Shield controller with a PC, even if you’re connecting with a USB cable. Asinine as that is, it impacts a small number of people.

As a journalist with deep concerns over user privacy, however, I hate this trend of vacuuming up user information. When you buy a CPU or GPU, you’re paying several hundred dollars for the product and for a reasonable expectation of support. Locking driver updates behind an email address is a very small barrier, but it’s still a barrier that requires you to provide Nvidia with ostensibly personal information.
