I have a w10 PC and an Nvidia card. You install NVidia GeForce Experience and click "download", then "install".

For AMD, you would install AMD Catalyst and do the same.

No bloatware for either.. don't do things the hard way!

You must log in into geforce to use it=spyware

Give me my driver and nothing more

Make a fake email?

You can download just the driver directly from Nvidia and not install GeForce experience

nVidia drivers also contain on-by-default telemetry you just installed willingly.

If you're concerned with it, then you have an issue. If you're not, you don't.

I can say this about literally anything. You bought a new car, but it requires you to send nudes to the automobile company owner to be able to start the car? If you're concerned with it, then you have an issue. If you're not, you don't.

well, GeForce Experience IS bloatware IMO, so... I'm screwed that way, I guess.

Don’t even need GeForceExperience. You can download the driver installation exe directly from Nvidia without installing the bloatware.
