Hello Friends,

Last few drivers (including 471.68 today) had some problems during setup.

How can I install an older driver ? Thanks.

Thanks but I wanted to know where can I find an earlier version of the driver (without any outer app).?

I always download the drivers right away when they come out BUT then I set a reminder to wait to install each version exactly 6 months after it came out to make sure they have "aged" appropriately.  This way, I am always running stable older drivers but they are also regularly updated. Win-win.

I'm going to install it because I'm running Windows 11.     Win11 uses a new display driver model,  WDDM 3.0.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Display_Driver_Model

WDDM 3.0 was announced as a feature of nVidia Win11 drivers somewhere around,  471.11 WHQL.    (It was present in a few beta drivers prior to that)

 

 

 

 

The VR Guys at one stage were swearing by 457.30 and claimed anything newer caused issues in VR, No idea if that is still the case.

Nope

I'm letting SU5 settle down before making system changes.

NVcleaninstall is the way to go for nvidia drivers, you can manually select what driver you want (historical and current) but also strip out the nvidia bloatware that comes with it 

 Unless you have Naraka: Bladepoint, or Back 4 Blood Open Beta and Psychonauts 2 or one of the 7 new G-SYNC Compatible displays there's no need to update drivers.

Nothing exploded here.   Working fine in War Thunder,  and FS2020.

Im finding this driver is silky smooth and a bit less blurry terrain at altitude - like it so far I only load the basics none of the bloat

I absolutely swear by this program.   Use it to only install the display driver and nothing else.  The amount of useless bloat with nvidia drivers is insane, as is the amount of processes running with the full install.

Quick and easy to use and super useful if you want to try some older drivers.

Highly recommended for anyone who hates unnecessary bloat. .

Its proper name is NVCleanstall if anyone's looking for it.

Things got better eventually and I'm now on latest (2070Super), i did try 457 again recently but it performed badly, but i may revisit it to double check Vs the latest drivers one day soon.
