Long story short, using v391.35 (due to issues with newer versions) for a GTX1060 on a Win7 Pro x64 AMD based MB, I used Device Manager to just install the drivers, with none of that other bloat. That older version was used due to another issue with driver signing (that's another story).
It installed ok, BUT all the unnecessary crap installed anyway, something that never happened before. I've done this probably a dozen times and more with numerous video cards without this issue. I do NOT overclock, nor 'game'.
The non-driver files I want to know if they are needed for the actual drivers are;
3D Vision Driver,
Physx System Software (nVidia Settings)
Visual C++ x86
Visual C++ x64 (Do I need both, or for that matter do I need either?)
I assume all (or at least most of that) is for their Physx software, AKA nVidia Settings.
The program I have been using for software un-instlations for years now is Revo Uninstaller far better than the uninstaller that comes with the program/driver. A screen shot is below;
