exactly acer Predator G3-571?
if not do not grab these drivers
make sure you are installing the laptop gpu driver and also the intel uhd driver
the mobile and desktop gpus have the same names now, but they are nowhere near the same gpu
they have the same core, but use them in differnt ways
the nvidia gpu is not attached to any displays, it writes to the intel uhd frame buffer for that to display
the intel uhd controls vsync and res and other settings, they talk to each other
chipset, audio, bt drivers here

intel uhd driver here for i7 7700hq

First wipe all the Intel and NVIDIA related driver installs off the system and reboot as needed; then use the above link to detect and get all your Intel branded hardware drivers installed with latest drivers. Then reboot as needed and install the nvidia one linked in post above this one. Reboot once more when done with that, then configure the NVIDIA Control Panel and set the High Performance GPU as the Global Default and set the Power Management to Prefer Max Performance.

Lists ALL drivers by date for each model, up until May last year for GTX 1060...
There's been another round of security issues identified and resolved with nVidia's drivers[nvidia.custhelp.com] (after one or two similar last year), and they're even making releases for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 as well as Kepler GPUs, which are normally not supported, so I would use the latest ones here unless you have a very good reason not to. Min-maxing performance on an old GTX 1060 isn't likely to be worth the potential security tradeoffs here, but I admit that's just my opinion.
This is useful thanks

1. Nivida Control panel, I re-enabled it through msconfig however it has a windowed message :

Yay! Back in business but damned tired...10 hours of fun and focus gone forever I suppose. Hope this helps someone.
Still, Q 2., if anyone has a similar system to me (GTX 1660 6gb in a Predator G3-571) and using a driver close to October 2023 after which they reckon they don't include updates to NVIDIA Drivers for 10series Pascal GPUs, please feel free to give me a clue.
Thanks all!
Ok but if you look at the link I posted as last but not least above, look at that guy's stats in forum there... He is the GPU master lol!... I kinda relate to what he says and other reports around the net seem to support his statement. A particular driver is highlighted as optimal performance and similar experiences are posted here and there that seem to back their word. SUre, it may be some time ago but still, it seems relevant even more now.
I understand the security fixes but I also see that latest drivers may not be so healthy for older GPUs. Well, according to what I have read. Performance is the true indicator, not incomplete notes posted on NVIDIA site. Reddit seems to outline the best details in my experience and reading about some driver updates there you see nothing to do with older GPUs, often...
It also makes sense that certain processes in those drivers would actually maybe hinder an older GPU's performance in a way to encourage continuous upgrading and keeping a ubiquitous market 'thriving'.
Just my two cents. I will of course get a really good laptop in time but I just want to play the games I have optimally and have zero interest in the majority of so called AAA games currently. Same old, same old, cheaters galore or the rig seems to be a factor in outcomes (fair enough yet...), or worse, the player base is some sort of psychological marketing experiment and the human element to gaming seems to be slowly eroding.
THanks for posts and input. Really appreciate it.
Yeah DDU is essential. I made a mistake of having internet connected first time and MS installed a driver in gpu Oo... Great tool!
Yep, all good thanks : D
Either way, I was just describing that the latest drivers do, in fact, support the GTX 1060 since your wording seem confusing. You seemed like you thought "as of late 2023, it lost updates" and that's not true. It just got one.
Everyone likes to have this fascination that "drivers focus on the latest architectures so older ones gain nothing or even lose performance" but drivers are far more complicated than that. They make a lot of changes, sometimes to work around game issues and sometimes to bring features or security fixes. Sometimes games want a certain driver version or newer. Squeezing a bit more performance out of the latest and greatest for a day one game driver is what gets the press release attention, but that doesn't mean that's the only thing to driver updates.
One could consider it could be just bad dev in games as well? Why should a GPU manufacturer need to find solutions to a game that may use bad coding in the first place? Just a thought.
Thank you so much for your well thought out reply. You are right, at the time I was writing really quick and trying to get the gist of the problem across.
I suppose it is my choice to prefer an earlier version of driver based on what I read and a few other realisations made. Such as an older laptop I used I didn't update drivers for years and ran everything, including Warhammer 2, perfectly well (I mean, I didn't have everything on 'Ultra' but I didn't get random crashes or other issues neither). Meanwhile, people were having issues with the latest drivers all over the place with that game alone. Must admit, CA are lazy dev anyway but that's one concrete example in my experience.
So, through what I read and saw myself I think I will just occasionally install recommended (Overwhelmingly, if possible) drivers until I find that golden goose. I just hope I don't fry it or anything lol...
Although a very nice laptop design, in my opinion, and even though Acer shafted this particular model at least, Acer Care and Predator Sense are an absolute joke,I may as well go for experimental gold with it.
I suppose this thread has gone from asking from advice to seeking reports on drivers that perform. So, I will seek that elsewhere now but still, any users of a similar setup I'd appreciate their experience using older drivers for GTX 1060 (6gb).
Thanks very much.
But regardless of who is "at fault", it's still in nVidia's interest to resolve issues if they can because it improves the experience of their ecosystem. So it indirectly benefits them.
An example with Minecraft comes to mind. Certain older versions (releases 1.0 through 1.7) apparently weren't to conformant in some OpenGL stuff? Recent drivers from many if not all brands have on and off been "broken" in that range of game versions, perhaps because they have tighter OpenGL tolerances now. First Intel drivers (with IGPs so this wasn't some Arc only thing) started showing the issue, and then nVidia (and AMD?) drivers. Last I tried with current AMD drivers those versions render fine though. Because they are older game versions, the fix was made in newer ones.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GoldenAgeMinecraft/comments/yzjqkb/minecraft_visualgraphic_glitches_from_10_to_1710/
https://www.reddit.com/r/MinecraftHelp/comments/yr7g8b/java_completely_broken_visuals_on_mc_1710_nvidia/
So this is a case of "do you either leave a looser tolerance for OpenGL in your drivers or make a workaround for Minecraft?". Minecraft might be the issue, but it's sort of a popular game, so knowingly breaking it even if it's the fault of the game and not you might not go well. The reason it probably happens now is those versions are old and rather unpopular (1.7 is still somewhat popular for mods though).
I'm sure the examples with other games are countless.
I was using a GTX 1060 until mid-late last year, and then again as the year turned when the new one had to be returned for RMA.
During that second time window, I did have one small issue with the then-latest drivers (I think 55x.xx but I'm not exact on that). I had an issue where the taskbar for Windows 10 wasn't rendering properly. It had that "hardware acceleration isn't fully in effect" look. I restarted and it didn't fix it, so I reinstalled the drivers and it persisted. I knew something was up, so I searched the web and found out it's a possibility on some GPUs and drivers. Went back to the last drivers I used when I was still using it, which I want to say was 536.xx, and it cleared it up.
Other than that I had no issues with any drivers on that card (other than staying on 373.06 for years after I bought it, again due to a Minecraft scenario where nVidia's drivers broke anti-aliasing after that version and again I presume nVidia probably tightened some tolerances since this happened right after the game updated to 1.7 and lost actual support for it anyway, so they probably figured it'd impact next to nobody [there was still a way to force it to work for a while by making a change on Minecraft's end which is how I was able to still try it]). If I was using it today, I'd probably just install the latest and only go back to something older if I had issues. That's largely because of the aforementioned resolved security issues in the last year or two of nVidia's drivers. I'd put that above min-maxing "using the best driver" unless I tested the newest and found it had drastically worse performance results in a chosen game. And that's probably your best here; test it yourself and see.
