Display Driver Uninstaller

[uebermann]

So I was interested to see what my PC benchmarks were and found that my video card was running about 4x slower on the benchmark than others with the same card. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest Nvidia drivers but still got the same result.

I decided to do something that I had written off as bunk a long time ago: Display Driver Uninstaller

I had heard others say that they did this and removed all of the old drivers and then reinstalled and saw massive improvements on their video card. I figured at this point I had nothing to lose. Well, I'll be damned it worked. I started getting just a bit above the average benchmark so a 4x improvement. Why it works, I have no idea. Seems like a failing on the video card companies though, because having old drivers on my computer shouldn't cause a decrease in performance.

I run on my TV so I cap FPS at 60 anyways but in games were I was dipping into the 40s range, they run at 60 all the time now and never skip a beat. Except for Path of Exile because they have shitty code but meh. But yeah nice to have things working as they should.

wait why did you consider uninstallers bunk?

if you install over an old install it sometimes leaves some of the older installation intact, thats why it is better to do a complete uninstall and reinstall.
