[SOLVED] nvidia drivers not supported on my windows apparently?

[Karzpa]

using windows 1903 everything is up to date and it says my windows is not supporting the drivers. it says use nvidia experience instead, but i used it and did check for updates and it says i have the latest drivers. 1060 to rtx 2060 it also got automatically detected with no new drivers.

Did you update the card without uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers?

i mean what i was doing is showing someone how the 1060 worked so i had the 2060 drivers installed and put in the 1060 and it didnt want to update. i normally do advanced options and do clean install always worked for me. but it give me that message, but it worked like a 1060 and after showing him i put my 2060 back so i am guessing the 2060 drivers are still on my pc. because it would't let me install the 1060 drivers

The GTX 1060 uses the same Drivers as the RTX 2060.

And FYI your drivers are most likely the newer DCH driver version since you have Win 10 1903 installed.

Yes.

Yes.

thank you for your help

 

[13thmonkey]

Yes.

Yes, they are the same, but without a reinstall there may be issues, personally uninstall-swap card-reinstall to minimise chance of BSOD

because i never uninstalled the 2060 drivers i think i still should be ok. if i get any blue screens i will just use ddu and install is fresh

13thmonkey is correct an uninstall and clean re-install of the drivers is the safest way to go to insure that the drivers properly recognize your card.

My bluescreens were at boot, so i couldn't even uninstall, I had to reinstall the card and then uninstall, reinstall the new card, etc. a bit of faff really.

so i should just select dch as my driver type

its fine now the dch driver works because the standard one gives me an error. just did a clean install

Yes.
If it says they are not compatible then you will need to use the standard type drivers.
But since you have Win 10 1903 your drivers are most likely the DCH drivers.
