Vid card installation
« on: May 27, 2019, 06:52:08 AM »
 :banana: Jeff Bezos is dropping off my new EVGA GTX1660 Ti today. What do I need to do, if anything, in terms of removing old drivers? As far as the installation DVD goes, will I have the option for installing drivers only? What Nvidea/Geforce bloatware should I avoid or keep?

Thanks!

If your old card is nvidia you can just download and install the latest version over it. Choose custom setup and driver only, for a minimal setup. W10 will likely sort it out when you boot up.

Included DVDs may not have the latest drivers.

If you don't want to use the DVD, download it from their site and it'll have the latest ones. The site will also give the option to do driver only or Geforce Experience.

In case your current video card isn't an Nvidia or if you just want to get rid of old drivers for sure, run DDU.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

Magnets.   Use lots of magnets during the install.   It makes the vid card run faster.

Round magnets are better :old:

Not the green ones though.

Square greens ones are :old:

I hope no-one trys to take Vraciu and zack's post, seriously!

Y'all should know better than to post mis-guided suggestions in this particular forum!


Hope this helps

I painted a Yak-3 icon on my graphics card, since then I can have unlimited WEP in all planes  :old:

Like someone said, just download and install correct NVIDIA drivers for your new card, and everyhting shold be working.
