I never used Nvidia cards before.. Where is the latest drivers downloaded? Is it on Manufacturer website like Asus, Gigabyte, etc or from GeForce?

And also does it have framerate control to lock 60hz like in Crimson?

 

Thanks!

Drivers are downloaded through GeForce Experiance, grab the download from nvidia's website here http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience

You download them over Geforce experience.

It's amazing how people are recommending GFE when it doesn't even work a majority of the time.

 

OP, I recommend you download them directly from GeForce.com and not through GFE.

Works for me 100% of the time on both my desktop and laptop.  Drivers aren't gonna be on GeForce.com for long.

Drivers never correctly install for me and other people that I know. The software is shit.

I don't know how you guys have no issues with it.

 

I'm also aware of them not putting the frequently released drivers on GeForce.com soon, or them not wanting to anyways. It's bullshit.

GFE works every time, it just likes to take over a minute to actually open up sometimes. Once it opens up, it is pretty good.

When in doubt, re-format.

It's worked perfectly for me for many years

Instant notifications when new drivers are available, and I can choose when to download the, and when to install them

It takes 2 clicks, then I just wait for 60 seconds and its updated :) extremely convenient

 

If youre having problems with it then its probably your OS, you either dont maintain it properly or you havent done a clean install in a few years

 

Or maybe you cloned your OS at some point, or something stupid like that

Its easier to download and get info of the latest drivers via GFE, but I can agree its a pretty crappy software but hey, every hardware that has a software with it is almost always terrible. But I also have troubles with GFE hanging up, crashing or not working properly, but it installs the drivers correctly for me so really I'm happy with that so I don't have to spend time on the website and downloading files. But the other features are crap.

As I said, not by itself. Nvidia Inspector does.

What's nvidia inspector? Another software to download?

361.43 is the latest WHQL release I believe.

 

I generally get mine from the website directly. I don't like software like GeForce Experience or AMD Gaming Evolved.

But AMD Evolved auto came with the Crimson drivers.

 

Deym. Nvidia drivers are confusing. Hahaha. And they also dont have framerate control like Crimson?

Now im starting to love Crimson.

I clean install Windows every six months. That's not the problem. The problem is GFE, because it's not just me.

It's not convenient either. It's more stuff I have to have installed on my PC just to get drivers. That's dumb.

GFE works on 4 PCs in my house from 750Ti to Titan X 2 way SLI flawless... most of the time people screw something up, that´s all there is. I´ve never had any issues with it, actually I don´t use it to optimize my games but Shadowplay is the keyword here, and my nVidia shield android box streams my games perfectly in my bedroom :).

I don't actually play games so the software is just bloat to me :P

 

I'm pretty sure the nvidia control panel features frame target control.. it's not something I'd use either though :P

Yessir. Never had a problem with a 755m, 980 or 980 Ti. I always do a clean install each new driver as I'm sure that helps some. :)

Yeah a clean driver install is always a good option to consider. It just eliminates some issues right from the start, no matter if you choose to go with nVidia or AMD. But honestly I only do that on my Titan X machine, for the other ones I´m too lazy :P.
