The latest Windows systems are usually very perfect when it comes to driver and component management. Something that did not use to be like that and for many it represented a real headache. This has changed with Windows 7 and Windows 10, operating systems that manage drivers very well. But there is still room for improvement.
In this case we are going to tell you how to install the latest Nvidia drivers in our Windows and thus get the best out of our graphics card and our screen.
Windows installs the Nvidia drivers almost automatically, but not the latest ones. Therefore it is always convenient to go to the Nvidia website and download the latest drivers for our graphics card. For that we go to this link and we select the model of the graphics card that we have and the latest drivers. Then we download the software and install it on our Windows using its installation wizard. At the end, the wizard will ask us to let's restart the computer, something we have to do otherwise the benefits will not be applied.
Nvidia offers a second tool, a tool that allows us to know if the update is necessary for our equipment or not. This tool NVIDIA SmartScan. It is a web application that scans our system and tells us if the latest version of the drivers is suitable for our equipment or not, or if we have that version. To run this tool we need to have Java in our Windows, because otherwise it will not work.
The installation of these drivers will leave us a new configuration tool that allows us improve graphics card settings, resolution, refresh and even the emission of the images on different monitors or devices.
If we have Windows 10, surely our Nvidia drivers will be working well, but if we can, it is best to update it to the latest version, a version that will optimally use our graphics card.
