#Last Driver to Nvidia is garbage
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
This is a known issue and really only affects 30 series cards. I believe 566.76 is considered to be the last good driver for 30 series.
op listen to this i havent upgraded since this one on my old pc and it works fine i have a 3060(12gb)
Well the problem is that i play Dune Awakening
and when i click my GPU it wont let me rollback.. its grayed out
run a ddu and try find a .exe from nvdia for the 566.76 driver
ddu?
DO NOT DO THIS
You have a very narrow window of drivers to use then.
If you have any issues with your graphics card after updating the Nvidia drivers, please perform the following:
- Remove the existing Nvidia driver by running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) here: (AutoDDU can be told to use a custom driver link, or you can use the manual version located here.). For a utility to automate DDU as much as possible follow this guide.
- You can download drivers from the official site below. (You will need to specify your GPU and operating system.) On a laptop, both iGPU and dGPU drivers should be installed for full functionality and performance.
- Ensure that your WiFi/Ethernet/Internet is turned off or disconnected before installation of the driver (Running the .exe file) to prevent Windows Update from overriding the driver installation.
- Disconnect all other monitors (except one main monitor) and all unnecessary USB devices before driver installation to prevent device conflicts or black screens.
- During driver installation, please select the Custom option when prompted and ensure that Peform a clean installation is checked/ticked before proceeding with the installation.
- Please restart your computer after the driver installation is completed.
Also, you have a CPU that may have problems
Some Intel 13th/14th gen desktop CPUs (unlocked CPUs, as well as locked i7/i9), may have stability issues due to excessive voltages, on out of date BIOS/microcode. This may show up as errors, crashes, and BSODs. In some occasions, this error may blame a different part (e.g. out of video memory) despite it being caused by a defective CPU.
Common things that may fail with a defective CPU include the following, and more:
- Crashes during shader compilation
- Crashes during decompression (game loading)
- Crashes during driver installation/updates
Please go to these Intel Community threads for further information: https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Client/Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Desktop-Instability-Root-Cause/post/1633446#M40

To prevent damage to your CPU and possibly restore stability, please perform a BIOS/firmware update for your motherboard (or system, if this is a name-brand pre-build system).
- At a minimum, to a version containing the 0x12B microcode or newer.
- Ideally, and if offered, have the supplementary 0x12F microcode or newer.
You can check the support pages for your motherboard/system model for any BIOS updates you may need. Below are a few common motherboard manufacturers:
ASRock
Asus
Gigabyte
MSI
If your CPU is currently exhibiting instability even after performing BIOS/firmware and microcode updates, please contact Intel or your system builder for a warranty exchange (RMA), as your CPU may be permanently damaged.
Make sure that this isn't the case first.
This is explicitly unsupported by NVIDIA
Even if you can do it, you shouldn't
Check the release notes of just about every NVIDIA driver (the PDF version)
this has worked since win 7
btw
and has never broke any of my pcs
You're still going against best practice and DDU will do the same thing anyway, but cleanly
