    Or use neither? There’s no real advantage to having this bloatware. Just use the driver and nvcleaninstall for the updates

      i mean there are features that the apps have to enhance the experience. especially this patch is the one that enables Nvidia RTX HDR for multi monitor setups (which gives a better HDR experiemce than Windows implementation of it).

      if you only need a driver, sure you dont need the app, but just because you dont use all the features doesnt mean its completely bloatware/no real advantage. (and Im saying this from the POV that geforce experience was overly bloated).

        Is rtx HDR not a driver feature? and they’re simply putting the toggle switch in the app instead of the control panel like they have for everything else? I doubt that the functionality is actually embedded in this app.

          You’re correct, there’s no way to do this without it being a driver feature, but it seems like if they’re not adding it to the control panel, they’re using it as a carrot to get people to use the app

            Yep The filters feature appears to be the carrot. I did more reading after.

            That said I’m sure it’s just time before someone makes a lightweight tool that can control this.

          its functionality put into the app. its a feature not a part of the control panel nor gfe and only the new app. it requires the app because its also not a binary function. it gives the user a sliding scale to adjust the debanding intensity of HDR, as its Nvidias own implementation of what is essentially auto HDR.
