never heard of nvslimmer, but by the sound of it it does exactly the same as nvcleanstall, which I have used. Basically, I only install the driver and physx from the nvidia driver package, with telemetry disabled during the install (so, no ads and such nonsense during install).

edit: and nv control panel from the windows store thingy (which is dreadful, imo)
Thanks :) Do I have to do anything special if I have a driver already installed?
honestly can't remember / don't know, been ages since I started using that. sorry :/
E: But, no harm done if you uninstall the existing driver & software first, I guess?
That's what I'll try. Thanks again!
