Nvidia DCH drivers for gaming ?

[Mihai_89]

So i reinstalled the OS and i noticed that W10 downloaded the DCH drivers instead of Standard ones.

I searched on the web and looks like there is no difference between them but just wanted to ask.

Is DCH better or worse than Standard ?

Will my gaming suffer if i'm using DCH ?

Neither. DCH is smaller and installs faster though.

No. They perform the same.

Thanks, i was wondering if i have to uninstall DCH and install Standard.

One question : is it possible to install Standard over DCH ?

Nvidia's website says it's possible but if i remember right you couldn't do that in the past.

Did they change something ?

Each time you change driver, you should be using the DDU app and do a GPU cleanup in Safe Mode.

Use the Standard Driver, always. Microsoft just forces OEMs to use the DCH.
No you can upgrade one with another.

The standard drivers are under 'Advanced Driver Search.'

There isn't really any difference, but since Microsoft is bullying and trying to force DCH on people, it should be refused on principle. Same as an online Microsoft account to use Windows. ♥♥♥♥ THAT.
