[DRIVERS] NVIDIA GeForce GPU (9xx/10xx/16xx/20xx/30xx)

PakRatjR,

The upgrade in place repair changes nothing with your apps or documents. It is fast on newer hardware. Your system will still look exactly the same with this procedure.

True but, I have several "tweaks and adjustments" that have been made to fix general annoyances over the years and anytime I have to do anything "fixing" wise like that, it breaks a bunch of stuff I have to try to figure out how to fix again lol.

I agree with your cautious approach. Might I suggest making an image of the whole drive to another drive with macrium reflect? You would have the ability to undo the process if you desire.

just installed this update. Thanks MoKiChU.

After I updated, I ran a Driver Scan in CCCleaner (a recently added feature that usually does pretty well). It shows that there is an Nvidia driver v30.0.15.1296 which has the same release date as Drivers 512.95 WHQL (v30.0.15.1295). I am a bit leery about updating a critical driver using CCCleaner and am wondering what the deal is with v30.0.15.1296. Did Nvidia update v30.0.15.1295 to 30.0.15.1296 on the same day?

Hi,

I always strongly advise everyone not to use any drivers update tool.

It tries to make you install the Studio drivers instead of your Game Ready drivers.

Thanks MoKiChU. I did not let CCCleaner install the driver version it wanted to. I have mixed feelings about CCCleaner, and am aware of its somewhat sordid history. I use it very sparingly for certain things. They recently added this driver scan and update function. It works OK for some drivers but it also sometimes recommends things like this.

I don't even like installing graphics drivers from within GeForce Experience, so I was not too keen on trying it with CCCleaner. I did not think about Studio drivers verses Game Ready drivers. Thanks for clarifying this.
