Sometime in mid-December, however, youll be able to install Game Ready drivers only via GeForce Experienceand even then only after youve registered a verified email address with Nvidia. The drivers you can grab on GeForce.com or via Windows Update will be limited to quarterly releases for bug fixes, new features, security updates and so on. More frequent Game Ready drivers will be GFE-only.

Locking performance-enhancing drivers that have always been freely available behind a registration wall chafeshardbut Nvidia says the change will reduce headaches for both casual and hardcore gamers, as well as continue to push GeForce Experience as a go-to PC gaming solution.
We kind of have two camps in terms of gamers, Nvidias Sean Pelletier said in a group call with journalists. On one hand you have the gamer thats just casually playing things here and there, using their system for daily use and gaming on the side. They dont want to be inundated with these [Game Ready] drivers
On the other side of the equation you have enthusiast gamers, who get excited about preloading a game, who want to play a game the day it comes out with all the bells and whistles, Pelletier continued. Thats obviously the demographic were looking at for Game Ready drivers. Were targeting GFE as a single-source destination for those gamers.
