Hello!

I am interested in also considering in following you about these drivers you point at (as I see you just share the link to the official driver), so I have a couple of questions:

1. Are these the drivers that has the NVidia Control Panel inside? (so to NOT have to download it from the Microsoft store)
2. Are these drivers able to let me install the GeForce Experience software?

OT: Do you also do drivers packages for MSI motherboards?

Thanks a lot for everything!!

Hi,

1 - As indicated this is the DCH version (so with NVIDIA Control Panel from Microsoft Store).
2 - GeForce Experience is included in the drivers package.

Thank you very much for the clarification. So the following question goes along:

Why do you prefer the control panel from the Microsoft store?

Please explain the technical reasons (if any) as for ages I have always used the driver package that has everything inside, and I imagine a lot of people are doing that still.

Thank you as always.

Hi,

There is no preference to have, they are the same drivers, just the way to compile them is different. The DCH architecture is the long-term drivers architecture for all PCs with Windows 10 1803/RS4 or later, and the Standard/Legacy architecture is doomed to disappear (this also explains why it is the DCH drivers which are now offer for download without giving you the choice (to obtain the Standard/Legacy drivers you have to do a search in the Beta & Older Drivers)).

Here is the official FAQ about NVIDIA Standard/DCH drivers : https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answ...id/4777/kw/DCH


In addition, here is a small glossary :


HDA (Realtek) = Standard (NVIDIA) = Legacy (Microsoft & Intel)

UAD (Realtek) = DCH (NVIDIA & Intel now) = DCHU (Microsoft) = UWD (Microsoft & Intel before)

HDA = High Definition Audio

UAD = Universal Audio Driver

DCH/DCHU = Declarative Componentized Hardware Support Apps Universal API compliance

UWD = Universal Windows Driver

Thanks!
So for a more compatible system, you would say to go for the DCH driver next time and use the Nvidia cp from the Microsoft store?

Regarding such passage, should I uninstlal all my actual NVidia drivers using DDU before going for the new DCH drivers?

Thanks in advance!

The answer is in the official FAQ :

My Windows 10 PC has NVIDIA Standard Display Drivers installed. Can I download and install NVIDIA DCH Display Drivers from NVIDIA.com?
Yes. NVIDIA DCH Display Drivers can be installed on top of NVIDIA Standard Display Drivers.
