NVIDIA GeForce Experience - This tool serves several purposes.If you never play games, you do not need this. PhysX System Software - If you are into gaming, you may need to install this for some games to run.If you check for updates manually all the time, you do not need the process running in the background on your system. NVIDIA Update (no longer offered) - This resident program checks regularly with NVIDIA if driver updates are available.If you don't, you do not need to install this driver either.
HD Audio Driver -You only need that if you want to transmit audio signals via your video cards HDMI connector. 3D Vision Controller Driver - You only need to install this driver if your screen supports 3D, if you have proper glasses and if you access 3D contents, e.g. While you need to install the Graphics Driver, you are free to block the installation of any of the other components the installer makes available to you. If you select custom (advanced) installation in the installer you are taken to the next page where you can block several driver components from being installed on your system. It is therefore highly recommended to custom install Nvidia graphics drivers and not use the express installation option that the installer offers. It is now used for instance to download and install updates automatically.Įven if you do not use the drivers, they may be loaded with the operating system and features they offer may be displayed in various menus of the operating system. Initially designed to offer configurations for games to improve performance or visuals, it has since been pushed to be a lot more than that. Then there is GeForce Experience, a new software that requires registration. Another example is the audio driver that you only need if you use the card's audio capabilities. If your monitor does not support 3D for instance, you can't really make use of the 3D drivers that get installed anyway on your system. If you select to do a full installation in the installer, you end up with installed drivers for features that you may not be able to use at all. The package has currently a size of nearly 380 Megabyte and one of the reasons for that is that it includes several components and not only the graphics driver.
