Hi,

Id like to update my geforce 560Ti drivers, but am confused to how to go about this. Running windows 7, I went to 'uninstall or change a programme' and saw a list of nividia related items under 'name':

NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver 266.66
NVIDIA Graphics Driver 266.66
NVIDIA HD Audio Driver 1.1.13.1
NVIDIA PhysX System Software 9.10.0514

Should I uninstall all these?

Id like to try the latest drivers, 280.26.

Thanks.
 
Just run the Nvidia installer, you'll have the option to do a clean install if you want. Most of the time I just install straight over the top though. No need to uninstall anything from add/remove programs nowadays.
 
Never ever had a problem installing nVidia drivers straight over the top of the old one - but its probably good practise to do what coupe69 said (clean install option). I would also untick the HD Audio component unless you actually need it, it can cause issues on some platforms and generally isn't needed tho I think they've fixed the bugs now.
