Tell Me You Copied AMD Adrenalin Without Telling Me You Copied AMD Adrenalin █

Kevin Pury at Ars Technica:

But perhaps most importantly, Nvidia’s new app allows you to update the driver for your graphics card, the one you paid for, without having to log in to an Nvidia account. I tested it, it worked, and I don’t know why I was surprised, but I’ve been conditioned that way. Given that driver updates are something people often do with new systems and the prior tendencies of Nvidia’s apps to log you out, this is a boon that will pay small but notable cumulative dividends for some time to come.

When I built my new system last spring, this was one of the things I had heard about with AMD drivers: there is no login. Once I heard this I immediately questioned why this was a thing I had to do with Nvidia drivers. There’s absolutely no valid reason for it other than data harvesting. I’m glad to see it go.

This new driver app really does look like it does everything Adrenalin does and apparently has done for years. This is only in beta but the final version should be way better than the old GeForce Experience app ever was.

If you have an Nvidia card and are daring enough to use beta software download it and give it a try.
