"create an account + login + download drivers" is less headaches then:
"download drivers".
OF COURSE Ndivia. lol
You have to register every time?

I don't have to install it in order to update my drivers.AMD's Gaming Evolved app is hardly better than GFE.
Wasn't there some mouse driver which forced you to register and be online to get at some features? Afair they later backed down an removed that nonsense.
Someone mentioned you can't even do a clean driver install with GFE. Is that actually true?
Hahaha yes. I could barely play Battlefront due to the poor drivers, haha!hahaha....what are you going to do? Buy an AMD card from a company that has paltry driver support and is diving off the end of the earth?
We are fucked
This is unbelievably stupid.
They have to go back on this idea right? The whole world is about to tell them how stupid it is.

There will be third parties. If not... The principle is enough for me to go to AMD if they go through with this.
Same experience here. I expected superb drivers and software when I bought an NVIDIA GPU, what I got was good drivers, shitty UI software that even a junior programmer can do better and settings (even SLI) that keep getting reset after a driver update no matter how I install the update.I hate nVidia software. The Experience is useless to me and only serves to hurt performance while the driver panel itself has always run horribly on every machine I've built with an nVidia card. Why is it still so laggy? I hate using it.
I won't. The GTX9XX series are the first NVIDIA GPUs that I've used in my own PCs. Before that I've always used AMD and never had a problem with them. It was more due to curiosity that I switched to NVIDIA for this upgrade.You guys will buy nvidia card anyway.. what's the issue here.

Bullshit
Completely false.
I'm really not seeing the problem.
Install GFE.
Register email address, takes like 30 seconds, did it earlier.
Download and install driver.
Close GFE.
The problem is there is no benefit to consumers for them to lock drivers behind a registration wall now, when they've been free access for years prior.
No benefit at all.
Yeah there's no benefit, but what's the downside?
I'm not seeing one.
It's a total non issue
Obligatory
Yeah. Nvidia basically can do whatever the fuck they want at this point. suck it up, guys.
Why would I install a girlfriend experience?I'm really not seeing the problem.

That's the most defeatist attitude I've heard in this thread. I hope you are being sarcastic. Companies rise and fall all the time and in short spans of time. If Nvidia thinks that it can bludgeon its customers with policies they don't like then they will not lose their lofty position sooner or later.

Nvidia has had the best product for the better part of a decade I'm not going to buy an inferior product to save $50. The reason the market is in the place it is right now is AMD's fault. That being said if DX12 stuff turns out to better on AMD in practice and Nvidia keeps doing stuff like this I'll buy an AMD card in a heartbeat.
The downside is some people do not want to deal with GFE. It's not required to make the hardware work with the drivers or the operating system, and Nvidia is artificially making it a requirement.
