Windows 10 - Force reinstall of Nvidia driver

[CRz]

Hi,

Last night I changed my XFX AMD R9 280X to a Asus 760 GTX cause the AMD card wasnt able to go higher then 1080p on my new Asus VGA27AQ1A.

My other rig hade the ASUS gpu when it was able to go up to the native resolution 1440p according to spec but actually was able to go 4k (weired, nvidia sync thing?).

The only thing I did prior to swapping GPUs was a repaste cause of weired behavor but that was most likely heat related. 

 

 

My issue is that when I put the Asus gpu in my new AMD rig it got all fubar, Windows 10 v21H2 decided to force reinstall GPU driver in a loop.

It does matter if I go older or latest version of Nvidia driver, same thing... I did a DDU before I swapped and during troubleshooting the driver issue.

You guys have any ideas?

 

Yes, I know none of those card are idle for the screens but full resolution would be nice until the market gets more human. I live in sweden and a proper 3090 goes for 20k sek which is roughly 2000 USD.

So, I say how about NO! I'll probably go the prebuilt route soon if the market doesnt improve soon...

 

AMD specs:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900XT

M/B: Asus ROG Strix X570-F

RAM: 2 x Corsair 16GB 3600 kits

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise v21H2 (fully patched)

Did you uninstall the old graphics driver before putting in the new card?

Preferably via Display Driver Uninstaller.

Yes, sure did. DDU = Display Driver Uninstaller

Assuming you have downloaded a driver that supports your card you could try this -

Use DDU to remove the existing driver, disconnect your internet connection and restart the PC (this stops windows from trying to update the driver)

Install the new driver and restart the PC (restart not reboot)

Reconnect the internet connection

I've tried that already, the issue starts during the installation... pretty much after the device driver becomes active during the installation.

And that restart/reboot doesnt help...

Have you tried the update driver option in device manager > display adapter

No, have seen a computer before... this was a new thing.

I think this is a newer mainboard paired with older PCI-e hardware or perhaps a firmware issue on the GPU.

Found another GPU that works better so I move on!

 

Thanks!
