You've heared about it, but unsure about what it'll do? This tutorial will help you understand how it works, and how to correctly utlize it!
- Use TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker to download the latest driver, if you already run the latest you must run the application with the
--force-dl
argument which will force a prompt telling you that you're outdated.
Note: if you don't have the minimal install feature enabled yet, you must go to %localappdata%\Hawaii_Beach\TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker
,
open app.config
with a text editor and set the value of Minimal install
to true
- Download Display Driver Uninstaller
- Extract the software
- Run it, and ignore the warning message
- Select
NVIDIA
to the right, if needed - Press on the button that says
Clean and do NOT restart
- Go to the folder where you saved the graphics drivers, and run
setup.exe
(do NOT run the long-named driver file!)
Now you should be clean from any 'bloatware' and bullshit that comes with the graphics drivers come with these days. If you're using a laptop then you should not use this feature as it doesn't install Optimus (which switches from the IGP to the GPU when running games)
