Report Post. I have never used any kind of driver removal software to upgrade my drivers just run the installer for the new version and do not have any issues with my video cards. Never a TDR, or artifacts or framerate issues, etc. You'll find that the people that have those issues are the ones that do all of that extraneous cleaning beforehand that really is unnecessary. Has been and will always be. It's up to you to choose. Personally, I choose not to waste my time.
I would be happy if someone from Nvidia can shed some light. Is it better to just run the installer on a driver release? There are many people whom say do the first one, and many people saying do the second one. Some people also suggest that using driver sweeper will make a mess of things. I've used it along with other registry cleaning software. The problem with clean install is that you can't clean up the registry before the installation and I have problems with left over files from uninstalling the driver manually.
Drivers are computer files used by the OS on a computer to properly recognize and function with various components and devices connected to a computer. Without the proper drivers for a device, the OS will either not be able to work with the device or may work in a way that is ineffective.
Many types of OS will come with generic drivers for many different devices, which are installed during the installation of the OS itself. While these can often be sufficient, specific drivers are often needed to ensure the components and devices connected to a computer all function properly. There are many different open source licenses but they all must comply with the Open Source Definition - in brief: the software can be freely used, modified and shared.
