Uninstalled GeForce Experience because it was hindering my LAN

Now my internet isn't actually taking Google.com 25-30 seconds to load anymore. Not sure why it started doing this as I've always had GeForce Experience, but uninstalling it fixed my slow internet. My speed tests were showing my 37 down / 6 up yet web pages were not loading fast at all. I thought it was a DNS error but first tried stopping certain programs from booting up into the task window on startup (dropbox, ccleaner, etc - things I didn't need starting up automatically).

But when I uninstalled GeForce Experience, everything was fine. Now my question is when I go to MANUALLY DL the drivers from Nvidia, do I just DL them and go? Do I get rid of the old drivers? I've never done this manually before.

Running a 750ti.

Yes doing the newest install will remove the previous drivers. Some though prefer removing them using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) then installing the newest drivers.

When you download the newest drivers I would select Custom during installation, then only check off the Graphics Driver, PhysX Driver & HD Audio Driver. Then under it you'll see a option for a clean installation, check that off and you should be all set. The old drivers will be overridden by the new drivers.

If you have any DSR settings or custom settings in the Nvidia Control Panel you will need to redo those settings once the driver(s) are updated.

Yup, unless your utilizing Nvidia's 3D software with a 3D monitor there's no reason to download those other drivers. Also I find the Geforce Experience doesn't optimize the games very well and you can do better by adjusting the game settings manually.

If you've already downloaded the newest drivers and deleted the Geforce Experience then your fine.

Will it uninstall any previous drivers this way automatically? Even though removing GeForce Experience didn't fix my internet issue like I thought... I still don't want it back. So I will just occasionally check the website for drivers and do what you've said here to manually install them.
