Nvidia Drivers after Upgrading

Johnnie Butters · Mar 23, 2016

Just went from a GTX 970 to a GTX 980 Ti and was wondering do I really need to wipe and reinstall the drivers. I am only asking because MSi Afterburner is still reading 4GB Max on VRAM. Everything else seems to be fine.

You don't really need to, but I would honestly recommend it. It would ensure much smoother sailing later on, and is well worth the effort.

Just did a clean install of the drivers, still not right unless I am missing something here.

The graph seems to max at 3GB of vram. There should be a setting for maximum displayed limit. With the 980ti that should be 6144.

Use display driver uninstaller In safe mode to wipe drivers then reinstall. Reinstall after reboot and version 362.00

Johnnie Butters · Mar 24, 2016

ok why 362?

There was problems in most recent driver you don't want to deal with

ok, well just went into safe mode and did a clean install, still showing 3.5 GB. very odd.

You used ddu? Try and reinstal msi

Johnnie Butters · Mar 24, 2016

Just reinstalled MSi, Now its saying 4.1GB, Maybe it's how much being used not necessarily how much I have.

djreedj · Mar 24, 2016

are you talking about the chart on MSI? that is how much is being used and the max it has reached since it has been open.

Johnnie Butters · Mar 24, 2016

yes that is exactly how it works. Problem solved. bumped it to 5k and was using 5.8GB. Thanks for the help.

djreedj · Mar 24, 2016

Good and you still did the right thing if you used ddu and reinstalled drivers. Good luck and have fun.
