Forcing NVidia Geforce Experience Without NVidia card?

[Purphoros]

I'm attempting to run NVidia Geforce experience on my laptop which only has integrated graphics, this is so I can use my NVidia Shield controller on my PC, is it possible to force NVidia Geforce Experience without having a Geforce card?

[Jade]

No.

Backup plan, is it possible to force the NVidia Shield controller to use an XBox controller driver?

The reason that you cant use the shield without an nvidia card in the system is because it uses a dedicated chip on the GPU for h.264 encoding to create the video that is streamed to the shield. By doing this it minimizes the performance hit you get for encoding. it is possible to use the CPU for encoding, but they want the experience to be a good one, as well as make you buy a video card from them.

 

You can try a third party program like kinoconsole to achieve the same thing, without using the official nvidia software/hardware. See link below:

The question was "is it possible to force the NVidia Shield controller to use an XBox controller driver?", in which the answer is still no.

 

That being said, good find on the driver!

Well technically the driver is allowing the shield controller to communicate with Xinput (Shield Controller is 100% Xinput compliant) by removing arbitrary restrictions added by Nvidia for the sole reason of exclusivity. If your running Linux and have XB360Drv installed you can plug in a Shield Controller and it works perfectly via its Xinput interpreter. This isn't really a driver as much as its a crack tbh.

 

Either way this will achieve what OP is looking for.
