Question What is the correct way to install the NEW (Latest) NVIDIA ready driver for RTX card in WIN10?

Hello,

What is the correct way to install the NEW (Latest) NVIDIA ready driver for my card RTX 3080?
Do I need manualy to uninstall the current driver in control panel in Win 10, then restart the PC and ONLY after install the NEW driver?
Or I can install the NEW driver on the current one?

If you want to go full out....... download DDU, boot into safe mode and use DDU to uninstall your Nvidia drivers, after done turn off computer and unplug network cable, boot back up into windows and install new drivers, then plug network cable back in.

Unplugging your network cable stops windows from going out and installing new video drivers when you boot back into windows.

Depends. It's good practice to wipe them completely once in a while and reinstall fresh, but I don't consider it necessary every single time.
