Overview

NVIDIA 3D Vision Treiber 306.97 is a software program developed by NVIDIA. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The programs's main executable is nvSCPAPISvr.exe and has been seen to consume an average CPU of less than one percent, and utilizes about 2.87 MB of memory. The setup package generally installs about 35 files and is usually about 25.6 MB (26,847,664 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10.
