Oh woooooooooow, the end of an era. I first used the nVidia Control Panel, or "Sedona" as it was internally known (I used to work for a freelance QA software testing company and nVidia was one of our clients), when I got my EVGA GeForce 7900 GT in 2006. This went into my new overclocked Opteron 165 system (Socket 939) with an nVidia nForce 4 motherboard (which was my first dual-core system, my first 64-bit system, and my first PCI-Express system). That card had an all-copper heatsink, but it only covered the GPU. It was a factory-overclocked card, and the vRAM chips were left uncooled. They failed. EVGA replaced my card under warranty (the first time I dealt with their wonderful, exemplary customer service), and upgraded me to the slightly better 7950 GT (which had a much bigger all-copper cooler that covered everything). And here we are, 20 years later, and Sedona is no more. I've yet to use the new nVidia app, but looks like there will be no choice going forward.
