    What's special about repack vs the one I downloaded from nVidia's site when it was released back in Nov? I don't have the original file any longer (I use the standard driver) so I can't do any analysis myself. Is it basically the same components as before?

    EDIT: So I clean installed this driver, apparently the control panel app doesn't know how to realize I have an eGPU hooked up. Gives me an error that no NVIDIA GPU is connected to the laptop display.

    Hi,
    wanted to ask how you all install you nvidia drivers? Do you debloat it using NVSlimmer or NVCleanstall? or Just do a regular install meaning you have telemetry?
    I have not updated my driver since j95 is MIA.
    To be honest, I dont need to update my driver as all is working for the programs that I use. Just wanted to get information and learn thats all. Thanks

    If you're not having any issues then you're not really missing out on anything :p

    I usually:
    Download the latest drivers whether DCH or Standard.. I usually use Standard on my desktop and DCH on my laptop (preference).
    I use NVCleanstall
    Check off the ones I need like Display Driver, PhysX, HDMI, Runtimes, Optimus (laptop), DLSS (RTX), and USB-C... the rest is if I need/want to use it like Ansel for fancy screenshots or if I have a NVShield and whatnot.
