remember that April fools joke earlier this year ... well they are making it now

 
The comments kept on coming and coming, making it clear that we needed to make a real GeForce GTX USB drive. And so today, we’re pleased to announce that after much R&D we have created a genuine, usable, USB 3.0 64GB GeForce GTX USB drive

    I have enough USB 3.0 thumb drives that never get used now incuding a 256 Gb Corsair Slider X1. Definitely not worth the hassle of being forced to install GFE and using it at least twice? No, no, no!

    Knowing Nvidia it probably requires GeForce experience to access the drive.

    You will need it to enable video Nvidia cards on Intel's new x299 platform.

    We are both being sarcastic about the stupid software and artificial limitations both companies have been the cause of in recent years.
