There needs to be free space in C: drive.

No matter what, C: drive is only thing that matters.

[turbid glen]

there is!!!

[snow fiber]

Is there at least 15gb in C: drive

[turbid glen]

thats my issues tho

[turbid glen]

oh, no

but it says only mb

its that big?

[snow fiber]

Despite what that error says, around 15Gb is the recommended amount to be free.

[turbid glen]

so even though it takes less then 15gb it needs 15 gb 😐

[snow fiber]

Any less can cause issues not only during installation but afterwards

[snow fiber]

Correct

[turbid glen]

bruh, well thats almost impossible

i've got a 100gb c drive and a 2tb D drive

[snow fiber]

Free up 15GB and try again then, should be plenty possible.

[snow fiber]

That C drive is too small. 250gb should be the minimim.

I recommend 250gb as the minimum

[turbid glen]

there is no way in hell i can remove anything else from drive c,

[snow fiber]

My statement remains the same, sorry.

[turbid glen]

my d drive has over 1tb of spacew

so im screwed then

[snow fiber]

Ok, that doesn't matter here. Certain software including the NVIDIA driver always has to be installed to C:

[turbid glen]

😐

So im basicly stuck

damn

[snow fiber]

Not sure why you even bought such a small drive

250GB SSDs are cheap.

[turbid glen]

cus my parents would'nt get an expecive pc for me mate, so later on I upgraded,

my pc spects are about a mid-end, so the money had to be split somewhere

So basicly what your saying is that fornite and all of these other games as going to remain laggy af, cus I've run rust and 0 issues happen on med settings, but yet in fortnite I run low settings and my shit laggs HARD

Ok, well thanks for your help. but mabye nvida should fix there crap so you don't need drive C

cus thats anoying

why offer the choise of install if its all going to be on drive c anyway

[snow fiber]

No that's not going to happen, it's an infrastructure requirement. Storing it anywhere else would break compatibility.

It used to be where they didn't force it, but a lot of software (including mine I might add) broke because of people like you not wanting it installed in C:

[turbid glen]

I get that, I really do, but if theres not a work around then people should not be selling drives under 250gb

[snow fiber]

That can be said of a lot of things, but that's not for NVIDIA to fix

[turbid glen]

the same reason that needs to be on drive C is the same resaon i can't move/remove any other programs on there atm, as i move any program to my d drive asap if possible to choose, so those programs dont give me a chooise either reasulting in this

[turbid glen]

😐

welp

so I need a minimum of 15gb space is waht your saying, even though it says it only need 160mb

idk how tf im ever gonna get the free of drive c, so I'm stuck with crappy gameplay i guess

mabye AMD truly is better in drivers XD, nah jk

[snow fiber]

Technically I think it'll install with 5gb free, but like I said you should always have at least 15gb free.

[turbid glen]

I love nvida but this is sad that im stuck with no way out

[snow fiber]

Any less and you have issues.

[turbid glen]

i've got more then 5gb free

i've got 5.26gb

free

on C

[snow fiber]

I'm pretty sure it's the same issue and Intel and AMD do the same exact thing as NVIDIA do. You need to have predictable locations for this sort of thing, and you can't fucking change it after games have been using a specified specification for decades now

I'm not going to comment further on this, ping me if the issue continues after freeing 15gb

[turbid glen]

Ok, calm down dude, cheese

no need to swear so agressively
