I don’t use that shitty application. Just use Nvidia Inspector and Nvidia Control Panel. That application is data collection spyware.

I don't use that shitty application. Just use Linux.

[-] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 1 points 44 minutes ago

If there are Linux applications that aren't complete janky shit, I'll switch.

I need a multitrack DAW recorder that understands older and newer audio interfaces and a good multi-camera video editor.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I’ll switch to Linux when there isn’t a performance trade off for using an Nvidia GPU.

[-] kieron115@startrek.website 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Just switch to CachyOS and so far I've noticed improved performance if anything (on a 3080 10gb). The latency difference between it and Windows is just unreal.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

That’s the case for DX11 or older games but any DX 12 game it’s 20 to 15 percent less performance and that’s a no go for me. Once it gets addressed, then I’ll consider switching.

[-] kieron115@startrek.website 1 points 2 hours ago

Maybe it's system to system, or something with the older nvidia drivers, but I've specifically noticed the improved performance in Expedition 33 and Jedi: Fallen Order which I think are both DX11/12?

How the fuck does this protect kids? Adjusting graphics settings? Why not bar them from adjusting volume while they're at it.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 13 points 5 hours ago

Some of those graphics might be showing boobies. Obviously this must be regulated.

[-] hunnybubny@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 hours ago

No it is not. Dont be a fucking ridiculous idiot.

Nvidia app is DEI woke. Gotta protect the kids.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 points 8 hours ago

wow, wow there. no loud music after 8. If the nightstand mic doesn't pick up the nightly potus prayer, your front door is getting bust open

Of course we are not going to tell you why, but you get 1 strike.

They are denying us the power of the digital age, taking it for themselves.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Lol good luck, the entire thing that makes it so powerful is the collective

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 hours ago

You can download the Nvidia driver directly from their website

People who care about privacy wouldn’t use the Nvidia app. (And wouldn’t be on Windows)

[-] chimp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours ago

Yeah, but Nvidia Cards on Linux are "fun". Fuck Nvidia

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 hours ago

They have worked for a while now. They just aren’t as good as AMD cards but that’s true on all platforms

[-] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 5 points 7 hours ago

So it sounds like the wall was written to police more than just porn sites? Or is this companies doing this to harvest your data?

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

It's to prevent autonomous agency. It's to prevent people from having privacy and individuality end of discussion. The last system like this was under the gestapo and secret police under Hitlers regime.

[-] tane@lemy.lol 7 points 11 hours ago

This happens all the time. I still see what I call boomers (likely younger than actual boomers) call gen z millennials constantly. The oldest millennials are like mid 40s but in the popular imagination we are still kids in our 20s. It’s like society is 10-15 years behind almost
