带内网络遥测技术_放松一下，NVIDIA的遥测技术并不仅仅是在监视您

带内网络遥测技术

Gamers are accusing NVIDIA’s new drivers of spying on you, collecting more data with new telemetry services. But NVIDIA isn’t spying on you—or, at least, NVIDIA isn’t gathering more data than it already was, and most of that data is required for it to work properly.

游戏玩家指责NVIDIA的新驱动程序在监视您，并通过新的遥测服务收集更多数据。 但是NVIDIA并没有对您进行监视-至少，NVIDIA收集的数据没有比现在更多，并且大多数数据是其正常运行所必需的。

那些新的遥测过程一时无能为力 (Those New Telemetry Processes Do Nothing (at the Moment))

This whole subject started to take on a life of its own when people noticed the latest NVIDIA drivers add an “NVIDIA telemetry monitor”, or NvTmMon.exe, entry to the Task Scheduler. MajorGeeks even recommended disabling these tasks with the Microsoft Autoruns software.

当人们注意到最新的NVIDIA驱动程序将“ NVIDIA Telemetry Monitor”(NvTmMon.exe)添加到Task Scheduler(任务计划程序)条目中时，这整个主题开始发挥自己的作用。 MajorGeeks甚至建议使用Microsoft Autoruns软件禁用这些任务。

While many websites uncritically recommended disabling these processes, Gamers Nexus monitored these processes and found that “they appear to be inactive at this time and do not transact data, as far as we can tell.”

尽管许多网站非严格地建议禁用这些过程，但Gamers Nexus监视了这些过程，发现“据我们所知，它们此时似乎处于非活动状态，并且不进行数据交易。”

In other words, those telemetry-named processes do nothing. Disabling them accomplishes nothing. It’s possible that NVIDIA is working on moving telemetry-related functions from the main GeForce Experience program to these processes, but that hasn’t happened yet.

换句话说，那些遥测命名的过程什么都不做。 禁用它们什么也做不了。 NVIDIA可能正在将与遥测相关的功能从主要的GeForce Experience程序移至这些过程，但这尚未发生。

A future driver update that makes these processes functional will also probably re-enable them in the Task Scheduler. There’s no point in disabling them right now “just in case”.

使这些进程正常运行的将来的驱动程序更新也可能会在“任务计划程序”中重新启用它们。 立即“以防万一”禁用它们是没有意义的。

人们读错了隐私政策 (People Are Reading the Wrong Privacy Policy)

People on Reddit found the Privacy Policy on NVIDIA’s website and summarized it as such: “NVIDIA may collect your name, address, email, phone number, IP address, and non traditional identifiers and share this information with business partners, resellers, affiliates, service providers, consulting partners, and others. This information is combined with typical browsing and cookie data and used by NVIDIA itself or advertising networks.”

Reddit上的人们在NVIDIA网站上找到了隐私政策，并将其概括如下：“ NVIDIA可能会收集您的姓名，地址，电子邮件，电话号码，IP地址和非传统标识符，并与业务合作伙伴，代理商，附属机构，服务共享此信息。供应商，咨询合作伙伴等。 该信息与典型的浏览和cookie数据结合在一起，并由NVIDIA本身或广告网络使用。”

That sounds bad. But that’s actually a summary of the privacy policy for your use of NVIDIA’s website. As Gamers Nexus wrote, there’s a separate policy that covers GeForce Experience and NVIDIA’s software.

听起来不好 但这实际上是您使用NVIDIA网站的隐私政策的摘要。 正如Gamers Nexus所写，有一个单独的政策涵盖GeForce Experience和NVIDIA的软件。

NVIDIA issued an official statement that said: “NVIDIA does not share any personally identifiable information collected by GeForce Experience outside the company. NVIDIA may share aggregate-level data with select partners, but does not share user-level data… Aggregate data refers to information about a group of users rather than an individual. For example, there are now 80 million users of GeForce Experience.”

NVIDIA发表官方声明说：“ NVIDIA不会在公司外部共享GeForce Experience收集的任何可识别个人身份的信息。 NVIDIA可能会与选定的合作伙伴共享聚合级别的数据，但不会共享用户级别的数据……聚合数据是指有关一组用户而不是个人的信息。 例如，现在有8000万GeForce Experience用户。”

GeForce Experience需要收集数据以发挥作用 (GeForce Experience Needs to Collect Data to Function)

The GeForce Experience application, by its very nature, needs to collect some data from you. Here’s what the GeForce Experience application, included with NVIDIA’s drivers, does:

本质上，GeForce Experience应用程序需要从您那里收集一些数据。 NVIDIA驱动程序随附的GeForce Experience应用程序的作用如下：

• It checks for new drivers and downloads them for you. To do this, it has to check which operating system you’re using, which NVIDIA hardware you have installed, and which driver version you currently have installed.
  它会检查新的驱动程序并为您下载它们。 为此，它必须检查您所使用的操作系统，已安装的NVIDIA硬件以及当前已安装的驱动程序版本。

• It scans your system for installed games and suggests optimal settings. To do this, it needs to know which games you have installed, how they’re currently configured, and what hardware you have in your PC.

  它会扫描系统中已安装的游戏并建议最佳设置 。 为此，它需要知道您已安装了哪些游戏，它们的当前配置方式以及您的PC中具有哪些硬件。

• It also reports back basic information about how you use the application. For example, NVIDIA can probably tell how many people use the GeForce Experience application to optimize games, how many people use the gameplay-recording feature, and so on.
  它还报告有关您如何使用该应用程序的基本信息。 例如，NVIDIA可以告诉有多少人使用GeForce Experience应用程序来优化游戏，有多少人使用游戏记录功能，等等。

NVIDIA says it hasn’t started collecting any new data recently, writing in a statement: “The nature of the information collected has remained consistent since the introduction of GeForce Experience 1.0. The change with GeForce Experience 3.0 is that this error reporting and data collection is now being done in real-time.”

NVIDIA表示，它最近还没有开始收集任何新数据，并在声明中写道：“自从GeForce Experience 1.0推出以来，收集到的信息的性质一直保持一致。 GeForce Experience 3.0的变化在于，该错误报告和数据收集现在可以实时进行。”

您可以监控GeForce Experience发送的数据 (You Can Monitor the Data GeForce Experience Sends)

If you’d like to see every bit of data GeForce Experience sends, you can do so with Wireshark. Gamers Nexus monitored the data NVIDIA’s applications sent over the wire and found about what you’d expect. It sends:

如果您想查看GeForce Experience发送的所有数据，可以使用Wireshark进行 。 Gamers Nexus监控了NVIDIA应用程序通过网络发送的数据，并发现了您所期望的内容。 它发送：

• Your GPU’s specification, vendor, clock speed, and overclock information.
  GPU的规格，供应商，时钟速度和超频信息。
• Your monitor information and display resolution.
  您的显示器信息和显示分辨率。

• Driver settings for some specific games, such as whether you’ve disabled G-Sync or chosen a type of antialiasing for a game in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

  某些特定游戏的驱动程序设置，例如是否已禁用G-Sync或在NVIDIA控制面板中为游戏选择了抗锯齿类型。

• The resolution and quality settings you’ve chosen for some specific games.
  您为某些特定游戏选择的分辨率和质量设置。
• A list of games and applications installed, so NVIDIA can see how many people have Origin, Steam, Counter-Strike: GO, Overwatch, and other games installed.
  安装的游戏和应用程序的列表，因此NVIDIA可以查看有多少人安装了Origin，Steam，Counter-Strike：GO，Overwatch和其他游戏。
• How much RAM you have.
  您有多少内存。
• Information about your CPU, motherboard, and BIOS version.
  有关您的CPU，主板和BIOS版本的信息。

This is the type of data we’d expect to see, given what GeForce Experience does. NVIDIA can use much of this data to suggest optimal settings for your hardware.

鉴于GeForce Experience所做的事情，这就是我们期望看到的数据类型。 NVIDIA可以使用许多数据来建议您的硬件的最佳设置。

Data about which games you have installed and how you’ve configured them can help NVIDIA know which games to focus development resources on, and point it in the right direction when automatically choosing graphics settings. These are good things, and what GeForce Expeirence has always been designed to do anyway.

有关已安装哪些游戏以及如何配置它们的数据可以帮助NVIDIA知道哪些游戏将开发资源集中在哪，并在自动选择图形设置时将其指向正确的方向。 这些都是好事，无论如何GeForce Expeirence总是设计成可以做的。

要禁用遥测，您必须打破GeForce体验 (To Disable Telemetry, You’d Have to Break GeForce Experience)

You’re free to disable those telemetry services, but that won’t do anything for the time being. To truly stop NVIDIA’s software from phoning home, you’d have to break GeForce Experience by blocking its connections at the firewall level.

您可以随意禁用那些遥测服务，但是暂时不会做任何事情。 要真正阻止NVIDIA软件回家，您必须通过在防火墙级别阻止其连接来打破GeForce Experience。

But if you do this, GeForce Experience won’t automatically check for and provide you with graphics driver updates anymore. The game-optimization features would stop working. Other Internet-connected features would also break.

但是，如果您这样做，GeForce Experience将不会自动检查并为您提供图形驱动程序更新 。 游戏优化功能将停止工作。 其他与Internet连接的功能也会中断。

In fact, if you block connections from GeForce Experience and it can’t connect to NVIDIA’s servers, it just kicks you back top a sign-in screen saying “We are unable to log you in at this time. Try again later.”

实际上，如果您阻止来自GeForce Experience的连接并且它无法连接至NVIDIA的服务器，它只会使您回到登录屏幕顶部，显示“我们目前无法登录。 稍后再试。”

This is a bad idea. Those graphics driver updates are important!

这是一个坏主意。 这些图形驱动程序更新很重要！

强制性账户仍然刺痛 (The Mandatory Account Still Stings)

We’ve looked into it and found NVIDIA’s telemetry is really nothing to worry about. GeForce Experience collects as much data as it always does, and the data it collects makes sense for what it has to do. The new telemetry processes don’t seem to actually do anything.

我们对其进行了研究，发现NVIDIA的遥测技术真的没什么好担心的。 GeForce Experience会像往常一样收集尽可能多的数据，并且所收集的数据对于必须执行的操作很有意义。 新的遥测过程似乎并没有做任何事情。

But NVIDIA has gamers on edge with its recent decisions. GeForce Experience version 3.0 requires you sign in with an account to use it—even just to get driver updates—which makes many gamers unhappy. However, you can just create an NVIDIA account for this purpose. You don’t have to link a Google or Facebook account.

但是NVIDIA在最近的决定中让游戏玩家处于边缘。 GeForce Experience 3.0版要求您使用帐户登录才能使用它(甚至只是为了获取驱动程序更新)，这使许多游戏玩家不满意。 但是，您可以为此目的创建一个NVIDIA帐户。 您无需链接Google或Facebook帐户。

While we wish NVIDIA would offer more options, let’s keep our complaints tethered to the real world. Many of the claims going around online about NVIDIA’s new telemetry services just aren’t true.

尽管我们希望NVIDIA提供更多选择，但让我们将抱怨与现实世界联系在一起。 在线上有关NVIDIA新遥测服务的许多说法都是错误的。
