December 10, 201510 yr Good evening all I am just wondering, when I go into my programmes, or on to task manager, I have a number of NVIDIA processes running. -NVIDIA 3D Vision Controller Driver 352.65 -NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver 359.06 -NVIDIA GeForce Experience 2.7.4.10 -NVIDIA Graphics Driver 359.06 -NVIDIA HD Audio Driver 1.3.34.4 -NVIDIA PhysX System Software 9.15.0428 My question is, should I get rid of any of these (Obviously not the Driver itself) for use with P3D? Running i7 6700k 980Ti Cheers Adam
December 10, 201510 yr Next time you install an Nvidia driver package only install the base graphics driver. If you are using the graphics card for audio, then install the HD Audio driver. Else, the rest is worthless for flight sim applications. On the other hand, those extraneous processes probably do not impair performance significantly either.
December 10, 201510 yr Author Thank you Is it just as simple as uninstalling from programmes? Or do I need to do it another way? Regards Adam
December 11, 201510 yr The nVidia services can be stopped and then set to disabled in the Service Manager via the Windows Control Panel. The other items can be uninstalled. As to the latter items, I recommend waiting until you update the graphics driver. Do a custom install and uncheck any item that is not needed. It's mostly bloatware.
December 11, 201510 yr Thank you Is it just as simple as uninstalling from programmes? Or do I need to do it another way? Regards You can uninstall all of things you wish to now except for the driver or do a clean install of just the driver as Jay has stated - I only install the driver Rich Sennett
December 11, 201510 yr Author Ok, thanks guys. Ive just deleted all but the driver itself and the Audio Controller. Thanks again! Adam
