NVIDIA显卡开箱即用,功能强大,但通过更新驱动程序,不仅您的计算机和游戏性能会更好,还可以确保您的 PC 与其他外围设备保持兼容。
这是您需要了解的有关更新NVIDIA驱动程序的所有信息。
了解您的显卡型号
在开始之前,您必须知道您的计算机中安装了哪些
NVIDIA显卡。型号名称应在卡的包装盒中。
但是,还有一种方法可以通过DirectX 诊断(DirectX Diagnostic)工具获取该信息:
打开运行(Run)
(Windows + R) 并输入DXDIAG。
检查您的系统是 32 位还是 64 位。稍后您将需要该信息。您将在操作系统下的(Operating System)系统(System)选项卡上找到答案。
转到显示(Display)选项卡。记下Chip Type下指定的内容。那是您的 NVIDIA 显卡。
手动更新 NVIDIA
如果您想手动更新NVIDIA,则必须从他们的网站下载最新的驱动程序。然后,您必须运行安装程序并覆盖旧驱动程序。就是这样:
转到NVIDIA GeForce 驱动程序下载(NVIDIA GeForce Driver Download)页面。
手动搜索驱动程序。使用下拉菜单缩小您的选择范围。
下载(Download)您需要的最新版本的驱动程序。下载完成后启动安装程序以开始更新。
注意:(Note:)我们鼓励用户在更新任何驱动程序之前执行备份。这样,您可以简单地运行系统还原(simply run System Restore)并在出现任何问题时恢复。
如果此时您仍不确定
您安装的是哪款 NVIDIA(NVIDIA)显卡,您可以使用手动驱动程序搜索(Manual Driver Search)下方的自动检测您的 GPU(Auto-Detect Your GPU)功能。
通过 GeForce Experience 进行更新
GeForce Experience是一个补充您的NVIDIA驱动程序的程序。GeForce设计用于执行许多操作,包括视频捕获、屏幕截图、实时流和驱动程序更新。
(Download GeForce Experience)通过官网下载 GeForce Experience 。安装后启动应用程序。
系统将提示您登录以继续。如果您没有帐户,请单击创建帐户并填写在线表格。(Create Account)否则,请输入您的登录凭据或使用Google、Facebook、微信(WeChat)或 QQ 登录。
登录后,单击驱动程序(Drivers)选项卡。下载(Download)并安装您可能需要的所有可用驱动程序。
通过 Windows 更新进行更新
有时NVIDIA会与Windows更新一起发布更新。
转到设置(Settings)(Windows + I) >更新和安全(Update
& Security)> Windows 更新(Windows Update)。
单击检查更新(Check for Updates)以查看是否有可用的NVIDIA或Windows更新。
(Click Download)如果适用,请单击下载。否则,
如果您的 PC 是最新的, Windows会通知您。
请注意,某些更新需要很长时间才能完成。关键更新可能需要您重新启动 PC 一次或两次。
因此,如果您通过Windows 更新更新您的(Windows Updates)NVIDIA图形驱动程序,您可能希望保存您的工作并停止工作,直到安装更新。
如前所述,如果您可以执行手动备份,以防在更新驱动程序时遇到复杂情况,那会更好。通常,如果您启用了系统还原, (Restore)Windows将在安装任何驱动程序更新之前拍摄快照。
How to Update NVIDIA Drivers for Best Performance
NVIDIA graphics cards are powerful right out of the box, but by updаting the drivers, not onlу will your computer and games perform better, you will also ensure that yоur PC stays compatible with your other peripheralѕ.
Here’s everything you need to know about
updating NVIDIA drivers.
Know Your Graphics Card Model
Before you begin, you must know what
NVIDIA graphics card are installed in your computer. The model name should be
in the box the card comes in.
However, there is also a way to get that
information through the DirectX Diagnostic Tool:
Open Run
(Windows + R) and type DXDIAG.
Check if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit
system. You will need that information later on. You’ll find the answer on the System tab under Operating System.
Go to the Display tab. Take note of what’s specified under Chip Type. That’s your NVIDIA graphics
card.
Updating NVIDIA Manually
If you wish to update NVIDIA manually,
you’re going to have to download the most recent drivers from their website.
You’ll then have to run the installer and overwrite the old driver. Here’s how:
Go to the NVIDIA GeForce Driver Download page.
Perform a search for the driver manually.
Use the drop-down menu to narrow down your options.
Download the most recent version of the driver you need. Launch the installer once the download is complete to begin the update.
Note: We encourage users to perform a backup before update any drivers. That way you can simply run System Restore and revert back should anything go wrong.
If you’re still unsure at this point what
NVIDIA graphic card you have installed, you can use the Auto-Detect Your GPU feature found just below Manual Driver Search.
Updating Through GeForce Experience
The GeForce Experience is a program that complements your NVIDIA driver. GeForce was designed to do many things including video capture, screenshots, live streams, and driver updates.
Download GeForce Experience through the official website. Launch the application once installed.
You will be prompted to sign in to
continue. Click Create Account if
you don’t have one and fill out the online form. Otherwise, enter your login
credentials or sign in using Google, Facebook, WeChat, or QQ.
Once logged in, click the Drivers tab. Download and install all the available drivers that you might need.
Updating Through Windows Updates
There are times when NVIDIA will release updates along with Windows updates.
Go to Settings (Windows + I) > Update
& Security > Windows Update.
Click Check for Updates to see if there are NVIDIA or Windows updates
available.
Click Download if applicable. Otherwise,
Windows will notify you if your PC is up to date.
Take note that some updates take quite a
while to finish. And critical updates would likely require you to reboot your
PC once or twice.
So if you’re updating your NVIDIA graphics driver through Windows Updates, you might want to save your work and stop working until the updates have been installed.
As mentioned earlier, it would be better if you could perform a manual backup in case you run into complications while updating drivers. Normally, if you have System Restore enabled, Windows will take a snapshot before installing any driver updates.
