Keeping GPU drivers current
Also searched as: driver update · ddu · clean driver install
What it does
Installing current GPU drivers from AMD/NVIDIA (not auto-tools).
The honest verdict
Graded real. New titles regularly gain real performance from launch drivers. Get them from the vendor directly; use DDU for a clean reinstall only when something's actually wrong. …
Where it genuinely fits a rig, Compy can recommend it — applied with a snapshot first and a one-click rollback after, like every change it makes.
The full graded entry
The rest of this write-up — the specifics behind the grade — ships inside the app. The Blackbook publishes its verdicts here — the full write-ups stay in the book, on your rig, next to your own measurements.
The Compy Blackbook holds 191 graded entries like this one, judged against your hardware — and every change it does make is reversible, with the receipt to prove it.
