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

[piratino]

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 :

Thank you and sorry, I missed that.

Hello there!

I see that you point to the hotfix being a desktop-notebook version, and the last regular version (prior hotfix) being a desktop.

regardless this hotfix that I imagine was released by NVidia in a desktop-notebook version, the regular version you link that is desktop, can be used also on notebooks? Or is it better to go and download the notebook version right for my laptop?

Thank you.

Hi,

Manuel from NVIDIA staff has already clarified this, the drivers packages are the same (HotFix or not), so : Desktop-Notebook = Desktop = Notebook.

Ah ok! So in the future I can use my desktop package same on all my computers, desktop or notebook they are.. Cool!

Thank you so much!

i successfully installed nvidia geforce dch 64bit driver v465.21 , this driver is very special for developers and its completely compatible CUDA cores based GPU.
i am using R542UQ-dm153 ( X542UQ with bios v309.SA ) with nvidia geforce 940MX 2GB VRAM GDDR5.


Not all nvidia gpu supports Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling , only few model gpu supported with Compatible intel builtin Graphics GPU Driver 9116 , in 9079 this feature wont be enable, but in 9116 version, it will be enabled automatically.
