July 11, 20169 yr I am running WIN 10 Pro and am still with the original NVIDIA GTX 580 driver that was downloaded automatically when I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. I want to install version 368.22 which seems to work well for others based on input on this forum. Somebody said the current driver caused frame rate drops. That is an older driver though so I cannot download it using the GEOFORCE Experience and when I try do pull it up from NIVDIA manual download site there is no dropdown for Windows 10 to help choose a driver, only Windows 7, 8, 8.1. I find that hard to believe that Windows 10 is not listed on the dropdown but such as it is, which driver should I choose? 8.1 64 bit? Why would they list every operating system but not Windows 10 when its been out for one year? Thanks Greg Greg Clark
July 11, 20169 yr I tend to get my drivers off Guru3D - Here's the one you are looking for; http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/geforce_368_22_whql_driver_download.html Links are at the bottom. I find the very latest driver, 368.69, very smooth and stable with P3D however. I also suggest you use DDU to properly clean up after the automatic driver installation. That also tends to install all the 3D junk and whatnot; http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html [MSI MPG X870E Carbon | 9800X3D (PBO +200Mhz / -20 Offset) | Corsair 64GB DDR5 (Custom Timings) | RTX 4090 Founders Edition (Undervolted) | WD SNX 850X 4TB + 4TB | Antec Flux Pro]
July 11, 20169 yr Your card is pretty old it may not be receiving updates. You really should consider an updgrade. GTX970's can be had for cheap now and will blow that 580 out of the water Take a look at this benchmark http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-970-vs-Nvidia-GTX-580/2577vs3150 ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI.

July 11, 20169 yr Why not just go to Nvidia Driver downloads and pick one? Select Win10 64bit, pick a Product series (500-900 it really doesn't matter as the download is going to be the same either way.) http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us You'll be given a selection of about 18-20 different sets. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024
July 11, 20169 yr Author Dave, OK now I know what the problem was. I went to the NVIDIA website and chose GEOFORCE drivers, not all NVIDIA drivers. The GEOFORCE drivers link does not include Windows 1o drivers for some reason. Thanks Greg Greg Clark
