552.12 - Clean Version

Doing this would prevent running anti-cheat software and people would not be able to play most MP games. If you really care about data collection then add something like pi-hole to your network. Stopping data collection from just one app isn't gonna do anything to your privacy.

 

That is true but I play MP games that doesn't have this kind of anti-cheat software so it isn't affecting me. It isn't about privacy only though... I use custom DNS server so I am pretty much covered on that side about privacy... it is also about trying to lower the overhead that Nvidia drivers gets added with it and the amount of bloat/loggings/tracings on driver levels. All these stuff pretty sure use CPU/GPU cycles at least.

At least when customizing the driver... I still have WHQL status on a custom Nvidia driver


Which really shouldn't cause too much issue with anti-cheat software unless they are pretty stubborn.

It isn't about one app on nvidia... its a multiple of services with it + Deep down on drivers level... all that with just Nvidia drivers alone.. useless with no benefits except collecting/logging/etc... why need all that dirt on driver level + a multiple of services with it for a damn GPU driver? I believe those kind of things to be made for Beta driver releases where a developer gets benefits from those kind of stuff... but other than that.. why implement it on Stable releases too? it doesn't make sense to me.

Generally... It might not make a difference for High End Spec PC's/Laptops but it will surely make a difference on Low-Mid Tier PC's/Laptops in general. Personally I like my stuff to be clean

 

I use Pi-Hole on my network and love it.

 

Just want to say a massive thank you for uploading these clean drivers. Makes it so much easier and takes worries off the mind.

Thanks a lot @Eviltoaster

 

TY. Like the good ol' days.

 

So i just installed these drivers. For the very first time, first time for any of your drivers dame good job i must say. Thank you sir stuff

Thanks! Are there any other tips or files you forgot to mention? From your post and those links, I might be able to build this into a bat script. Here's what I've got for the pre-cleaned version:
