GeForce Drivers Help

So I am about to update my drivers for my 970 and i'm gonna do the custom installation. Would I need to check the box that says "Perform a clean installation" ? Or can I leave that uncheck and it will still delete my old drivers?

You can just click express and not worry about anything ....

But if you have been having problems, before upgrading, recommended procedure is:

a) Uninstall old drivers
b) Reboot and use CCleaner Registry cleaner to remove ONLY registry those entries that have "Nvidia" in them (clean installation oft misses some of these)
c) Reboot and install new drivers.

I could, but it installs software like the 3d Vision which I dont use at all, and would rather not have to uninstall all of them for every driver update. Thanks for the info on how to uninstall old drivers if needed though.

Then I'd still remove all manually, especially if those things were ever on the PC at one point. If you custom install ONLY the driver, not sure it would remove any older remnants of those things you don't use

Oh alright mate, thanks for the help, I think i'll just do a express installation.
