Now nVidia installs some tracking phone home shit, regardless of using advanced setting during setup and removing all unwanted "features". I had to remove to EXE files that were running, I found out about them with a Firewall and ProcessExplorer.

Can you nVidia stop this illegal practise?

I haven't heard about nVidia tracking before. Are you referring to this? http://www.majorgeeks.com/news/story/nvidia_adds_telemetry_t...

Yes. Even removing it with Autoruns brought it back, so I tracked down all nVidia EXE and services and removed the files physically and just kept the graphics driver, the HD audio and the physics driver. Now I have to do that everytime I update the driver, which I do of course when I want and by manually downloading from nvidia.com.

Though I hope AMD gets more competitive, and I would really like to go with them next time.
