However in reality you usually update your driver without the “perform a clean install” checkbox. In theory these files can be used in a roll-back and SHOULD be deleted when uninstalling or updating your driver.

Most subfolders contain installer executables. To remove these files and save disk space navigate to:Ĭ:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\Downloader This is one of the directories that was changed in GFE 3.x.

#NVIDIA DRIVER CLEANUP TOOL HOW TO#
GameplayInside shows you how to clean up old NVIDIA driver files to save disk space!Ģ017 update: This guide was originally released in 2014. There are now three locations that get filled with unused files. However, with the introduction of the NVIDIA Geforce Experience it has gotten even worse. IT shall also be possible to select the correct refresh rate (144/120 Hz depending on which Freesynd mode the monitor is in).Did you know that each time you installed a Geforce driver update the old files get left behind on your system? This phenomenon has existed for years. You should now have surround activated with the correct resolution. Now you can select the correct resolution in the dropdown. MAke sure you can see that resolution in the ‘active’ resolutions section. If you press that, you will be able to add your resolution, I suppose it is 7680x1440.
The result will look garbled, but when it has finished after a few seconds you will see that the small button on top od the resolution dropdown will enable. Then enable surround with the resolution 11520x2160. If you enter Nvidia control panel and go to Configure Surround → Configure. I think it can be worked around using CRU (Custom Resolution Tool), but I found a simpler way, at least if you don’t have to switch between triples and VR all the time, in which case it doesn’t work well. I think it’s a problem on Benq’s side as the driver seems to report the resolution 3840x2160 to windows. I have had the same problem for a long time.
