Accept license terms and choose "Custom" installation. Uncheck "3D Vision Driver" and "HD Audio" and check the box for a clean install. Click ok and you're done.

Why suggest not to install HD audio is this advice specific to the OP or should all of us not use the HD Audio driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Why suggest not to install HD audio is this advice specific to the OP or should all of us not use the HD Audio driver? My thoughts were: Why installing a second audio driver, if you already installed RealTek audio driver? Since the driver version 270.61 I never installed the HD Audio driver again, because I see no use for it. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the driver version 270.61 I never installed the HD Audio driver again, because I see no use for it. Am I wrong? That makes sense seems to also control audio over hdmi so perhaps if you use a surround system or audio passthrough to a tv then maybe its worth using... Atleast to me it appears thats the only use it has like ATi has a HDMI oriented seperate audio driver packaged with the drivers. But as for the OP perhaps the unit doesn't have HDMi im not familiar with that MSI model. So Conkers i guess its sound advice and ill just continue to use it for my m18x. Thanks Conkers i wasnt sure.

Marcus007 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thank you guys for replying and will update my driver soon. My unit is GT683R and has an HDMI port and I will install the HD Audio since I oftenly use my TV to watch movies or tv series. Just asked this question since my friend updated his by downloading the driver and he delete his old driver and installed the new one but before he could install the new one, he already had problems because he delete the old one. So I just asked you guys for some advice in case I would want to install my driver. Thanks again for replying, I really appreciated it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackwolf1997 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Unzip the new 304.79 driver package, then copy NVMI.INF from MSI driver package and overwrite the one under 304.79, and this should allow you to install the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay0r Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Isnt the easiest way to update graphic driver over the windows update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Isnt the easiest way to update graphic driver over the windows update?Yes it is probably the easiest method since the driver is picked automatically. I think drivers pushed through windows updates are whql and not the most current offering. Therefore some like to grab the latest versions with the latest fixes/performance boosts. Nothing wrong with using windows update for driver it is as you mention the easiest method. Some drivers cause issues with previous updates and im not sure if windows updates clears all old driver files well so I personally easy or not I prefer a clean install of drivers and the latest and greatest drivers.

Eduardo Partida Robles Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 You could also check the beta drivers in Nvidia in case you need some application performance specific driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
