# THE NVIDIA GPU update checker for Windows power users/gamers
The best and __most popular__ open-sourced utility to check for NVIDIA GPU updates.
Made by Windows power users, to Windows power users.
## Main features
### Lightweight, portable and fully open-sourced
Alternatives are either bloated, or not open-sourced, or both. They are a security vulnerability waiting to happen.
Or they require you to install them, and cannot be run in portable mode - leaving a lot of trash files in your PC.
Some even require admin permissions to run (!!).
### Debloats the driver install
Stops the NVIDIA spyware from being installed on your computer. You choose EXACTLY which components of the driver you actually want to install.
No bloatware gets installed.
## Dependencies
- Windows 10 or higher
- [.NET Desktop Runtime 8 x64](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0) (it will be prompted to install if missing)
