NVLite

A portable, open-source, zero-telemetry alternative to the official NVIDIA App. Monitor your GPU and CPU in real time, manage drivers, and tweak key NVIDIA driver settings — no installer, no background services, no account required.

Dashboard:

-Real-time GPU monitoring: temperature, clock speed, usage, power draw, VRAM, fan speed -Expandable details: hot spot temp, memory junction temp, voltage, power limit, memory controller load, video engine load -CPU monitoring: package temp, per-core temps/clocks/loads, voltage, power draw, core/thread count -Display info: connected monitors with resolution, refresh rate, and color depth -GPU Settings: view and change key global driver settings (Power Management, VSync, Frame Rate Limiter, Low Latency, Threaded Optimization) with one-click restore to defaults -Quick Actions: launch NVIDIA Control Panel, clear shader cache -Fahrenheit / Celsius toggle -Temperature alerts with configurable threshold -CSV sensor logging for benchmarking and diagnostics -WMI fallback for CPU temperature when kernel driver access is restricted

Driver Management:

-One-click check for latest Game Ready drivers via NVIDIA's API -Download with progress tracking and cancel support -Minimal Install — silent, driver-only install tracked in-app (no NVIDIA UI) -Express Install — launches NVIDIA's full installer for component selection -Optional clean install and shader cache clearing -Driver version history with release notes links -One-click rollback to previous driver version -Automatic driver check on startup (configurable)

System:

-System tray with minimize-to-tray support -Start with Windows option -Light / Dark / System theme -Configurable polling interval -Maximized window state persisted across sessions -Requires administrator privileges for full sensor access
