    Problem with GPU driver

    Hi, I wonder if you guys can help me out. I have a Dell XPS8930 running Win10 with a GeForce GTX660 GPU. The driver is out of date, so I downloaded the driver from the Dell website - only one version is offered - but the installation failed because it requires Win11. Despite it clearly says that I’m running Win10. I read that you should always use a driver from the manufacturer in case they modify it. I can get a driver from Nvidia which is compatible with Win10, but is it safe to use it?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

      Get the driver for the Dell Site only.

      Card that are used by manufactures like Dell HP Gateway so on so forth have the cards specially made for them.

      The drivers are specifically written for those cards.

      Looked at all the GeForce drivers and not show a GTX 660.

      Lets run a speccy report this will let us know the hardware that is in the system.

      So other can assist let get a speccy report.

      [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]What is the brand and model name or number of the PSU.

      Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

      To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

      In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

      In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

      Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.[/COLOR]

        Sorry, it’s a GTX1060 with 6MB.
        Hope this helps
        Listen, that solves the problem, I think. You can close this thread.
