*** NVIDIA 470/480 Series Thread ***

Funny.... I've never ever done this, and I've never had a problem with installing new drivers or having performance problems after installing the new drivers. I just install it over the current drivers and it works without a problem.

Nvidia will tell you to do the same thing, this has helped many with performance issues that go away once cleaning out the old registry entries. This driver cleaning is to prevent problems from occurring, some would rather ask for trouble. Tell me this, how many Nvidia folders do you have under your C: drive or wherever the drivers are installed?
