FAQ

Q. How do we check for the latest driver version from Nvidia website ?

We use the NVIDIA Advanced Driver Search.

Example: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/processFind.aspx?psid=101&pfid=845&osid=57&lid=1&whql=1&ctk=0&dtcid=0

psid: Product Series ID (GeForce 10 Series: 101)

pfid: Product ID (e.g. GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: 845)

osid: Operating System ID (e.g. Windows 10 64-bit: 57)

lid: Language ID (e.g. English (US): 1)

whql: Driver channel (Certified: 0, Beta: 1)

dtcid: Windows Driver Type (Standard: 0, DCH: 1)

Q. Why DCH drivers are not supported ?

While the DCH driver is exactly the same as the Standard one, the way DCH drivers are packaged differs.

Standard: To upgrade, you have either to download/install manually new drivers, or let GeForce Experience doing it.

DCH: Windows Update will download and install the NVIDIA DCH Display Driver.
