NV Updater is a free tool designed to simplify the process of updating Nvidia GeForce graphics card drivers.
- No NVIDIA Account Required: Unlike the official method through GeForce Experience, NV Updater doesn't need an NVIDIA account.
- No GeForce Experience Installation: GeForce Experience is often considered bloated. NV Updater doesn't install this additional software.
- Component Control: NV Updater allows you to remove unwanted components like telemetry or GeForce Experience during the driver installation.
- Driver Detection: NV Updater automatically detects your graphics card and installed operating system.
- Driver Selection: It displays available driver versions, including:
- Studio Drivers (for optimal stability)
- Game Ready Drivers (for the latest games)
- Installation: The selected driver is downloaded and installed. You can remove unwanted components during this process.
- .NET Framework 4.7.2 Required: Make sure .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher is installed on your system.
- Manual Installation: NV Updater offers the option to manually install the downloaded driver if the automatic installation fails.
- Backup: It's recommended to create a backup of your current driver before updating.
- GeForce Experience: The official method from NVIDIA, but it requires an NVIDIA account and installs GeForce Experience.
- Manual Driver Update: You can also download the driver directly from the NVIDIA website and install it manually. This requires more technical knowledge.
NV Updater is a convenient alternative for users who want to update their Nvidia drivers without an NVIDIA account or GeForce Experience. It offers more control over the installation process and removes unwanted components.
Please note that driver updates can sometimes lead to problems. Always create a backup before updating drivers, and use NV Updater at your own risk.
