are drivers from nvidia.com safe?

[goatlover405]

Yeah, I know it says its nvidia's official site.
But I noticed it dosent say "secure" in the top left (or right depends on your languge)
and, why would they have a driver download from there when theres geforce.com?
So I wanted to know if its safe downloading from there

-thanks

There's nothing to secure since you're not sending any important information to them.

Now if you were buying something directly from nvidia, then yes it would be on an https page.

For Nvidia, you download from these sites, no where else.

https://www.geforce.com/drivers

No, not safe.

Downloading and installing drivers for your GPU will cause you loss of time due to excessive gaming. It will cause you to ignore loved ones and miss out on school work or even work itself. Lastly, you'll be deprived of sleep.....

All because you decided to download and install a video driver from nvidia.com to allow your GPU to play games.....you foolish, foolish man!

No, there are also regional NVidia sites, like www.nvidia.de, www.nvidia.co.uk etc. You can also download drivers from there.

You can hit the nvidia logo in the top-left and it'll take you to the world-wide landing page... so... it still works just fine with those links

"Secure" just means the connection is encrypted

And there is ZERO reason for that unless you're logging, sending them data, making purchases.

And when you go to shop and such on their site, it does go to a more secure HTTPS
Such as: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-store

That's awesome! Got a good laugh out of me when I indeed searched up "is nvidia.com safe". Nicely done, Steam. Way to get a sarcastic comment to populate there on google first, especially about such a large and well known company.
