Posted May 4, 2017 They're for every game, but it's possible that a driver breaks an older game.

I would recommend using GeForce Experience. It uses optimized setting for supported games and notifies you about new driver updates.

I always do a clean install though (with the nvidia driver wizard custom installation). Do I still need this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 4, 2017 I do both, usually the post driver install reboot happens on it's own. You just have to choose the option to reboot after DDU runs. If anyone asks you never saw me.

Posted May 4, 2017 Just now, Lemonpearl said: I always do a clean install though. Do I still need this? Yes, as the "conventional" ways will leave left overs that will interfere on the GPU functionality, these left overs become bloatware that only does bad to the system. I still use GFE for its ShadowPlay but I know better than let it update drivers, way back for instance I used to average 160fps on Bioshock Infinite 2560x1080p max out, I did the driver update through it (supposedly removes "all" old driver) went to play it and was doing 50fps average, so I DDU and installed GFE/Driver all fresh new... result was 170fps average now. So yes whenever you're updating or installing a new driver, DDU to make sure no left overs will affect your performance. Personal Desktop": CPU: Intel Core i7 10700K @5ghz |~| Cooling: bq!

Posted May 4, 2017 Yep, hit the top option to "clean and restart". When you do you'll reboot and the resolution will be super low, no worries If anyone asks you never saw me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
