Clean NVidia Driver Setup
29. June 2021To remove all bloat from NVidia drivers you unpack the driver using an archiver. Then you delete everything except:
- Display.Driver
- HDAudio (optional)
- NVI2
- PhysX (optional)
- EULA.txt
- ListDevices.txt
- setup.cfg
- setup.exe
Since version 397.93 you have to remove the following lines near the bottom of setup.cfg using any text editor:
<file name="${{EulaHtmlFile}}"/>
<file name="${{FunctionalConsentFile}}"/>
<file name="${{PrivacyPolicyFile}}"/>
This works for all drivers up to at least 466.47 which I am currently using. You do not have to repack the files. Simply run setup.exe to install the driver.
