Nvidia works on new driver user interface
 

WE KNOW that Nvidia's driver team was criticised for its last driver user interface as it's probably the most illogical peace of system software. It remembers some steps you do and makes some stuff very difficult to find. Well this will change, thanks god.

Why did they change it in the first place, the old control panel worked perfectly

Good to hear, that current interface is a pain to work with.
