I'm pissed. Really, really f***** pissed at NVidia.

Their latest control panel, the "GeGorce Experience" requires online registration. You need to get an account to use the new control panel. WTF?.

As if that's not bad enough, when you try to register an account you need to go thru email verification process. Of course, the email verification NEVER gets sent.

So right now, the new control panel is useless, as it won't run without logging into an account, and I can't login in my account without first verifying it and I can't verify my account because the NVidia verification email never arrives.

Not to mention if a person doesn't have internet, or for some reason their internet goes down temporarily, that person can't use the control panel.

Starting a petition to fire the moron at NVidia who thought this was a good idea.

I paid a lot for my video card and I shouldn't have to deal with this BS.

I hope AMD doesn't follow this genius NVidia example.

BTW, I have automated the clicking of the "RESENT VERIFICATION" button so that by the end of week NVidia will need to send me 10000000000000000 verification emails. It's just my way of saying "Thanks".

And of course, I have a new slogan for them... "If it's working, break it!"

Ughhh damnit :mad: thats horrible, and yeah for just your own PC's graphics card thats a rediculous idea for a user interface, especially for people with a little lower end hardware / CPU's that change their settings so everything works smoothly, or use different tv / monitors with different resolutions depending where they are.

It seems more and more now they purposely make things difficult to use, or just completely leave out a UI for controlling something, but this seems really really stupid lol and im guessing makes it a huge pain in the ass to do something that should be a simple setting change, and makes it impossible if you havent hooked the internet in the area up to your PC yet.

Oh i forgot to mention too i have a somewhat recent AMD graphics card and they still use the good old CCC(Catalyst Control Center) although im not 100% on if its still in use with most recent models but i hope it sticks around, the layouts a little different then the older ATI version of CCC for the Radeons, but its still nice and simple with the tabs down the left side and easy to recognize / understand setting control.

So not to say its the greatest or anything but i personally like it, but of course im sure some people like the other ones. Hopefully you wont wait too long till you can login at least.
