Nvidia Driver Update

[Tobinweb]

What is the easiest way to check and see if your NVidia Driver is up to date.

I followed some google downloaded directions where I right clicked on my Windows desktop, then selected the NVIDIA Control Panel. Then I navigated to the Help menu where you are supposed to select Update...but I did not see any update tab to hit?

I also see on line were you can download some kind of soft ware that will help you do an update, but am reluctant to download due to spamming issues.

Any thoughts?

Literally the SAFEST and easiest way is to go to their website drivers download page.

www.nvidia.com and either get GEFORCE Experience which will load in the system tray and notify you when their is an update (along with other features,like desktop recording);

or select exact drivers here;

Thanks, JJ FSX. Is one method preferable over the other?

According to my puter, I have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3670...does that mean anything to you?

I have the Nvidea GeForce video card so the software associated keeps the drivers updated. Since you have a GeForce card you should already the software installed. If you don't go to Nvidia like JJ FSX suggests.

One method simply installs required drivers and nothing else, and you manage getting new drivers yourself. In the old fashioned go get them method.

While GEforce Experience offers automatic checking for updates and more. All the details are right there at www.nvidia.com.

Depends on the person, I used to do it myself, I use GEForce Experience now and I have to say I do prefer it now.

On your second question;

To me it means nothing because there is no such video card model. Check the documentation of your card. Nvidia makes models in the 30 series named 3060, 3070, 3080, 3090, then they go to 40XX. There is no model RTX 3670. All the information you need about your card is on the website.
