Speaking of Nvidia drivers:
Some people are downloading from GURU3D, are using DDU etc… If this is just because others are saying to do so on YT or other guides, you might want to reconsider. You have no guarantee anything downloaded from any other site than Nvidia is genuine. You also don’t need DDU unless you’re really dealing with some problematic systems.
It has been a long time Nvidia driver installers are cleaning up properly so what I’m doing when changing drivers is just running the official Nvidia driver installer and just installing the bare minimum:
- Choose NVIDA Graphics Drivers (only)
- Select Custom (Advanced)
- Select Graphics drivers, PhysX System Software
- Unselect HD Audio Driver, USBC Driver and GeForce Experience
Once it is done reboot the computer. That’s all.
PS: The installer is designed to supporting both upgrading and downgrading the driver version!
