WARNING! Installs sneaky software

ATTENTION! The card did NOT come with drivers. In the instructions, MSI will direct you to the NVIDIA website where you will be prompted to download a 500MB executable and you must agree to the terms of the license agreement below. According to several websites, experts have found that the driver program installed telemetry files that periodically send your data to unknown locations. It is not possible to separate the NVIDIA drivers from the software. Check out NVIDIA software before you buy it! 3.
