Or just, you know, use a different browser. I have no idea why you'd want to install another piece of bloatware as a "workaround" in this case.

Browser is also another piece of bloatware

This driver seems to only work with the RTX 4090D

Only when it's not the one you use and was forcibly installed by Windows Update. For me, MS Edge is bloatware.

All browsers are (they all have some kind of telemetry and data farming tools). It's just the user's choice which one he will use

Is it true? Will there be a hotfix soon?

Yes it's true, and no, because the only difference between 546.33 and 546.34 is the added support for the 4090D

From the main article:

You're confusing bloatware with spyware. Bloatware is software you don't need and usually comes pre-installed. On mobile devices where apps typically replace browser usage so might call it bloatware but for every day use of desktop PCs and Macs you'll probably have a browser open most of the time.

In one sentence, you say that bloatware is an application that comes pre-installed but you don’t need that app (of course I understand your personal preferences), but in the next you say that no computer works without a browser. Therefore, in my opinion, an application that is actually necessary to use the computer (even if just to download another browser ) cannot be called bloatware. Well, I don't want to argue, in general I even agree, but I have no illusions either. each browser exists for the sole purpose of collecting user data.

Every system and device is initially equipped with a browser. Windows with Edge, most Linux distributions with Firefox, ChromeOS or Android with Chrome, Apple devices with Safari. All of them are bloatware at some point Everyone "needs your data" and needs more of it every day .

btw, I'm not defending Microsoft or Edge in any way.
Happy New Year !

It's far easier for Nvidia to just add the changed bits to an existing WHQL-ed code branch than to strip out all of the unnecessary cruft and requalify the entire damned thing.

Especially during the holiday season when they are short staffed with people taking extra time off around Christmas and New Year.

Remember that Nvidia periodically releases drivers solely with new hardware support so they already have an established workflow in place.

Well, that's what a Fortune 50 company does anyhow. Maybe some mom-and-pop graphics card manufacturer would do otherwise. But Jensen probably doesn't want to force OT on a bunch of driver and release engineers unnecessarily. There's no fiscal value. It's just added cost.

And the 4090D owners are going to get the full driver package the next time around anyhow, just like everyone else.

Guess what? When they release the 4070 SUPER next year, they will do the same. Same with the 4070 Ti SUPER. Same with 4080 SUPER.

Established release engineering workflow supersedes custom one-off driver packaging. It's probably fortunate for everyone that you don't manage a release engineering team for a Fortune 500 company.

 

[R-T-B]

I mean would it have been that hard to just make it a full driver bundle given all the bits are there anyways? Then we wouldn't be having this discussion and that's better PR.

Not all. Most practical ones, yes, but not all. /OT

Has anyone tried NVCleanstaller yet? Or is that what you used?

 

[Selaya]

doesnt seem to work. the only template it offered me was the 4090D; i'd assume the most you can install this on would be a normal 4090 and maybe an RTX AD6000

Or just, you know, use a different browser. I have no idea why you'd want to install another piece of bloatware as a "workaround" in this case.

They're probably using it to access the 1080p/4K streams of Netflix. It's 720p on other browsers.

 

[StefanM]

NVCleanstall works fine.
There is no functional difference compared to 546.33 though.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Goodie you can play fortnite on a 4090d

 

[AGlezB]

They're probably using it to access the 1080p/4K streams of Netflix. It's 720p on other browsers.

I didn't know that. During the pandemic the quality of the videos got so bad that I was very annoyed and then they decided to raise the prices so I cancelled my subscription. HBO Max has excellent 4K for a fraction of the price (and also Rick & Morty) so I don't even remeber Netflix exists most of the time.

I still remember I downloaded 60MB ATi drivers 2006~2009......

Aye good ol days, made me think of the Cyrix video cards and Matrix drivers coming in no more than 5MB HAHA.
