Nvidia app launches in beta: Nvidia's new GPU control panel is much faster, no log in...

Have never used Experience... Just do driver only installs

So it's people like you who are too blame for this!?! Jk I do the same.
They aren't doing this to make NVCP better, they're doing it to force GFE on everyone.

I just don't see the purpose of having ANOTHER thing loaded that I don't nor want to use. Just the drivers and I also choose "do a clean install".

Maybe NVClean Install will be able to disable those bits eventually.

It takes like less than 2 seconds to load on my 11700k.

Does everyone who uses a Nvidia card have 11700K or better?
Is it acceptable that it takes two seconds to load?
The answer to both of these is no.

It's easy to navigate. Everybody already knows how to navigate it and where things are.

That's my point. People who don't see any fault with nvcp are the ones who have used it for the past ~20 years and don't see the faults anymore because they've grown accustom to it and don't want to learn anything new.

You are living proof of this. Any new user who has never seen nvcp immideatly notices several oddities with it:
Loads slow. Also some sub options load slow or automatically place the mouse cursor at an options box or the system tray for some reason.
Nearly every sub option requires scrolling to see the descriptions but only when dragging the scroll bar with mouse because scrolling with a mouse could lead to changing options for specific setting, not scrolling the page. Also the descriptions are short and vague with no image example.
Also there is no reason to scroll really when all the text could actually fit inside the window.
Same pages even have horizontal scroll bars an addition to vertical ones.
Also the number of sub options in the sidebar is too much and many things added over the years clutter the interface.

The only really major change here is they are eventually going to force to you to have GFE. There won't be any NVClean Install to omit the GFE unwanted aspects because it's integrated with NVCP.

We'll see but unless Nvidia completely changes how their installers work (essentially a 7z archive containing various folders) then I doubt it.
NVC will just have to be updates to account for the folder structure and GFE is being replace by NVA.

The new app is going to be a huge pain after they eventually totally kill NVCP.

How? They cant kill nvcp as it's already installed in tens if not hundreds of millions of PC's. Either they will have to remove it during NVA installation or the more likely option is that it will simply be abandoned, not updated and falls to disrepair. I would not even be surprised if it would be revived as a community legacy control panel.

If you like ncvp that's fine but you are in the minority looking at comments here and elsewhere regarding this news. Most people welcome a unified program that hopefully gets rid of the need to separately install GFE (and login to even use it) to get recording and game optimizations, then install MSI Afterburner etc to get OC/Undervolt/Monitoring an addition to installing the normal drivers with nvcp.
