hm.

newest nvidia drivers refuse to install. i select win 11 x64, rtx 3070, desktop, game ready driver, it downloads, i try to install, it says "nope no nvidia card here m8" despite it currently having an nvidia driver that DID install, but is out of date. Trying the one that bg3 suggests. since the newest one is.... not working

nope, that's failed too. because apparently my windows is suddenly not compatible with DCH drivers.

...despite the previous one I installed being a DCH driver. what the fuck

@Nine have you tried cold rebooting? though I'm guessing it's some conflict between the driver and the installer, DDU is probably your best friend

@noiob yeah this is from a cold start this morning. I don't use George experience because I get frustrated with needless bollocks shitting up my PC to but as a result I never get notified of new drivers, so I have to remember to go find them when I can. It wasn't that long ago I got the current version of my driver but it's been like a couple weeks so of course there's like five newer drivers, and I can't even install older dch ones now suddenly

@Nine also not a fan of the George experience, nothing against George tho

@Nine shouldn't Windows automatically download the driver these days? DCH looks like some UWP stuff, seems like the control center is now a separate microsoft store app
I'm team red so uh, that's about all the advice I can offer

@Nine @noiob for automatically checking new drivers I use this: github.com/ElPumpo/TinyNvidiaU there's a link in the readme that explains how to run it whenever you log into your computer

I agree, fuck George Experience

@Siph @noiob also using DDU in safe mode and then booting back up to install the newest driver has worked, though... I Hope I don't have to go through that whole rigmarole every time now and windwos hasn't just shitted drivers up forever.

@Nine @Siph DDU is a godsent but I'm pretty sure Microsoft are testing drivers… sometimes. Worst case you gotta have the OS manage the driver, those have been certified

@Nine @noiob the thing I linked has avoided me that trouble so far!
