slim-nvidia-drivers

This is a Windows script which simply removes the unneeded stuff/bloatware from NVIDIA drivers package and creates a new archive.

WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Make sure you get the file from the Releases section, otherwise you will have issues with unix line endings!

Drivers tested:

• >= v440.97: use v0.5
• >= v411.63: use v0.3
• >= v397.93: use v0.2
• v388 - v391: use v0.1

Cards tested

Note that the resulting drivers have been tested on GTX 1060, GTX 1070 and MX 150 cards. If you own a newer card that needs other components to be included, please make a Pull Request.

Requirements:

• a) 7-Zip installed or b) 7za.exe in your %PATH%, or in the same folder as this script
• A recent Windows version; the script is only tested on Windows 10
• The NVIDIA driver already downloaded somewhere on your computer :)

Usage:

slim-nvidia-drivers.bat NVIDIA_DRIVER_FILE.exe

Or just drag and drop the NVIDIA_DRIVER_FILE.exe on the bat file.

This will create two 7z archives, minimal and slim:

• "minimal" includes only the driver
• "slim" includes the driver, HDAudio and PhysX
