NVSlimmer - NVIDIA driver slimming utility

I'm a noob, I've just discovered this thing. Plus I just starting to learn about reducing the latency overall and to tweak software with little to no telemetry and stuff running around.

 

Update :
I've let only the gpu on msi mode and the rest on line with default priority. And after reboot the system ran into a blue screen. I've entered safe mode and I've put everything back on msi mode with normal priority except the gpu.
Is there a way to know what were the default configurations for my system like when I have a fresh OS install? I mean there is a way to put msi mode tool into default mode? Because I think I get this blue screen because I had by default a component on msi mode already or more components.

 

@CalinTM Hey, it's totally cool that you're trying that stuff out, but you're hijacking the topic with something totally unrelated.

 

As uKER states post over in the dedicated thread for this tool, you get better support help there than here.

But AFAIK if you reinstall drivers for the devices you get back whatever the default was (you should have taken pic of settings beforehand).

 

Just tried NVSlimmer. It doesn't work. It says it can't load the Nvidia exe file. The exe file is in the same folder as NvSlimmer. Please help.

Edit: Never mind, figured it out.

 

Hi and thanks for NVslimmer, nice one Iam confused which may be the latest Version... 0.10 or 0.11? The date confuses me

v0.11 (2020/01/07)
- Added support for FrameView SDK.

v0.10 (2020/08/20)
- Added support for new "Process and module monitoring driver" in 452.xx drivers.

??

 

Yeah, the date is wrong, but don't worry about it.
I just added a new version, which adds a couple nice features.
Check it out and let me know how it went.
As always, full info and download in the OP.
Cheers!

 

Finally an update thanks uKer excellent job, its a must have

 

Thx for the updated version.

 

Just tryed the 0.12 with 496.49 and it seems to work flawless.
thx for the date correction and the new version

 

Author, can you add Chinese language

 

Can you tell me please what components are needed for nvidia geforce filters to work ? Or can you add a feature to select it ? Thank you.

 

Ansel is not removed in new dch drivers, uKER can you fix this please ?

 

Not only need to remove Ansel but now we also have an overlay in games that needs removed.

 

Hi.
What is the use of botton "Install Nvcpl"?
Thanks

 

I'm getting this error whenever I open NVSlimmer. Does anyone know what's up? Here is a copy and paste of the details.

Hi uKER, i'm new and tried your nvslimmer 0.12. A promising program but it don't seem to remove all features that i deselect, exanple nvcontainer. After starting your nvslimmer, i see a lot of driver's features. Does current nv driver has so much features included ? Keep up the good job and hope future update can include NV control panel for people who can't download and install it from ms store. Also is it possible to trim the driver only for either gtx or rtx, win10 or win11 owners ? Thanks.

 

I remove Microsoft Store with MSMG ToolKit. I did a fresh installation to test the DCH driver and I am not able to use the Install NvCpl button in NVSlimmer as it gives me the following error:

Spoiler

However Nvidia Control Panel does install if I use the full unmodified installer - which also installs all the bloat I don't want!

 

DCH driver includes NvCpl appx file that is installed without the help of ms store. Of course, you will not install NvCpl from the link to ms store because you do not have it, but this is not necessary because NvCpl is always installed by itself.

 

uKER please update to get rid of lasting garbage
