Yeah, shit sucks, I uninstalled gforce experience as soon as it started doing dumb shit on my network.
It was only good for reminding me to update drivers anyways.

>>57410929
I uninstalled it because it needed a login in the first place

>>57411204
Just don't install latest drivers. Uninstalling GE isn't enough. It's built into the drivers too.

>>57410929
Wait, it's only on gforce experience?
Dodged a bullet there, I never install that shit.

I noticed my firewall blocked two new nvidia programs after installing the latest update.

>NvProfileUpdater64.exe
>NvTmRep.exe

too bad they never made it past my firewall or they might've had a chance to collect some telemetry. :^)

>>57410929
>>57411336
it's not geforce experience, it's the driver itself.

>>57411246

Or, go to your hosts.txt and redirect whatever place this gets sent to localhost.

Yes? I was just pointing out how stupid some people are.

>>57411441
I have 372.70 and none of this shit.

Boy did I pick the right time to get a 390x just as the 370.00+ drivers started making my 770 run so much worse and this shit about telemetry is already bad enough in w10 without having to worry about it at the fucking driver level fuck NVIDIA and even 3rd party like evga and such fucking up 1070 and 1080s

>So what? I have nothing to hide. Are you a pedo or something?

>>57411406
Subtle nvidia shilling

>>57410610
why the fuck when somebody adds spying/telemetry features the windows community is either "how to disable them" and "you have nothing to hide" ,or both in some cases at the same time?
(this post implies that usually

>>57412074
that usually people do both depending on the situation - vs other windows people they say you can disable them , vs linux people they call pedo/nothing to hide anyways)

>>57412040
If that were the case I'd be defending this shitty practice, no?

>>57412204

It'll still connect to some of those, like google analytics ones.

>>57413014
And it'll connect to sites that are not listed there cause it tries to do at other times that seems to be of no use for the driver nor to check updates. (and there's also a legit one used for updates of course).

They can make decisions that the user doesn't want and which make them money. You know why? Because the alternative is AMD. Yes it sucks, yes nobody but nvidia wants it, yes nvidia tries to make money from that data and still people will buy it, because amd is THAT bad.
AMD is to blame for this.

Now gimme those rupees

>>57411598
It was added very recently when they switched to a new driver branch. GFE disappeared from the driver package entirely for a couple of releases, but this telemetry was added. Now GFE is back too.

>>57413558
AMD is clearly the better buy in this stopgap generation of GPUs, but it would be foolish to buy high end now when new standards are about to be implemented to make your card obselete in a single gpu generation or so.

A card like the 470 on the other hand can be had for quite cheap and can hold you over until your precious green cards actually let your computer work with the latest standards in software (vulkan/dx12) and hardware (not gddr5).


This is actually just a terrible time to buy computer parts.
New releases are on the horizon, and soon we will have new gpus and cpus on the market to mix up the competition.

Wait for the dust to settle in a few months.

>>57413745
The telemetry programs don't get installed with older cards either it seems. I was using a GTX 570 while I waited for my new 1070 to arrive, and it didn't show up on a clean driver install using that card. Wiped and reinstalled the exact same driver revision today when my 1070 arrived and the telemetry was there. Weird.

>>57413802
I was going to buy an RX 480, but Amazon UK are currently offering 20% off Warehouse Deals, so I got a 1070 for not much more than a 1060. Will sell up when Vega arrives.

>>57413824
You propably did not have telemetry since drivers on GTX 570 are most likely old as fuck

>>57410610
>http://www.majorgeeks.com/news/story/nvidia_adds_telemetry_to_latest_drivers_heres_how_to_disable_it.html
Why?

Why not just install older drivers?

>>57413543
(You)

>>57413836
The 570 uses the exact same driver package as the 1070, and shows up as the same version once installed. Yet it obviously does something different, because they weren't there.

>>57410610

Just updated - no it isn't. It's contained in the cancer that is GE and that program has always been a festering piece of shit. I'm not defending nvidia on this - this is unbelievably shitty. But it can be avoided.

All post-Core 2 Intel CPUs have a hardware backdoor built into them (as do all post-FX AMD CPUs). That's far worse than a telemetry program that takes a couple of clicks to disable.

Is this telemetry shit also in the proprietary drivers used on linux?

>>57411441

It could also be a Win10 only thing.

>The Intel Management Engine with its proprietary firmware has complete access to and control over the PC: it can power on or shut down the PC, read all open files, examine all running applications, track all keys pressed and mouse movements, and even capture or display images on the screen. And it has a network interface that is demonstrably insecure, which can allow an attacker on the network to inject rootkits that completely compromise the PC and can report to the attacker all activities performed on the PC. It is a threat to freedom, security, and privacy that can't be ignored.

Thanks for trying to Correct the Record though, Schlomo. :^)

>>57414158
interesting - I'm looking through their installer and NvTmMon is definitely in there, but it does not appear to have been installed on my PC. I have a 980. Only place the file installed to was the standard nvidia extraction directory and a directory in my temp folder. Where is NvTmMon on your system?

>>57414210
It's possible that they're only interested in Pascal users, if it was missing on both a 570 and a 980. The installed version on my system is located at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\Update Core

There's also one in a C: root directory, but that's just the unpacked installation files.

>>57414266
yeah, I just had the C:\ root and a temp file that looks like it was left over from 7zip

980 master race I suppose

Well, at least you tried.
Most ME functionality you talk about is completely optional and needs to be enabled manually in order to work.
You can actually check if the "network interface" is enabled by opening this site: localhost:16992
If it's unreachable that means you're safe. Negroid.
If you'd work in IT managing thousands of machines you'd understand why Intel ME/AMT is so fucking glorious.

Processor itself CANNOT read any files or do anything harmful UNLESS you enable it by yourself, and ALLOW this to happen, ie. by installing Windows driver for ME
