Best thing you can do in that case would be to try to strip out as much data collection from their driver as possible (or use Linux with the as of now, not-that-great-but-getting-better open source Nvidia drivers if you have a 2xxx series or up). As for the hardware, they aren’t making any more money from that one time purchase.
You weren’t doing that already?
I was, but now I regret even having an older Nvidia card in my system.

I use Linux but have been using the proprietary drivers. I’ll do some testing of the open source one now.
