Answer» I am using the program Driver Sweeper and wanted to know what I should DELETE before I install my new Geforce 680GTX. There are 3 Nvida option to TICK and delete from my computer, but I'm not sure if I should delete them all. The option are Nvidia-Chipset, Nvidia-Display, Nvidia PhysX and I am UPGRADING From a Geforce 570GTX to a Geforce 680GTX. Can you also explain how I go about using Driver sweeper please? Do I just click uninstall Graphics card under device MANGER and boot into safe mode to get rid of any of the ones you may suggest here? Thankyou!!Why not just use the GeForce Driver CD to install instead of some "driver" 3rd party app of which most are junk ? ?+1 DO NOT use any 3rd party driver apps.

I have to update the driver because I am installing a new Graphics card and it's a different driver from the one I have, but I have been told I must make sure the other driver is uninstalled before installing the new driver. The new driver has many more features for the Geforce 680, it has things like adaptive Vsync and GPU boost and FXAA, but I'm not sure what parts of the old drivers I have to uninstall. @Patio - I have got the new driver from Nvida site because it's the most upto date driver.Uninstall info: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_13955.html Be sure to download your driver from the nvidia website yourself - no need for a 3rd party appWill the new driver give me the option to uninstall and reinstall Nvidia PhysX?

I have to update the driver because I am installing a new Graphics card and it's a different driver from the one I have, but I have been told I must make sure the other driver is uninstalled before installing the new driver. The new driver has many more features for the Geforce 680, it has things like adaptive Vsync and GPU boost and FXAA, but I'm not sure what parts of the old drivers I have to uninstall.
