Hi all,

Recently dload COD Warzone to play however midgame play it crashed stating my driver not up to date.

Used the geforce experience to install later driver however kept showing installation cannot be continued.

Went to device manager to update my driver thru the graphic devices tab and it shows driver is up to date. Clearly it is not as version is different from the latest one. What can be done?

:(

Do try a fresh installation whenever you update your Graphic Drivers.


https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

Let it detect your current GFC model and OS, download the latest driver.

During installation:

Installation Options:

Select Custom (Advanced)

Click Next,

Once you are on the next page, click the option
'Perform a clean installation'

Click Next and let it install the driver.

Just to add, previously my pc had BSOD, however when I remove one stick of 8gb ram it's been working fine. Now it's left w an 8gb ram stick.

Is the ram I removed totally spoil or salvageable? Thinking of upgrading back to 16gb. Can I just get an 8gb ram stick and fix it myself?

Try cleaning the contacts using an eraser. Yes an eraser, rub it gently then retest it. I would suggest to test the suspected spoil ram on its own to confirm,...

Dont want to start a new thread... Plan to upgrade my gpu, currently using gtx1060 6gb close to 5 years iirc. Whats the new gpu nowadays? gtx 1660? Is it really an upgrade? Or push abit more for the 20 series. Budget wise about $500 for the gpu.

Games i play, Overwatch, Dota 2, COD Warzone on 1080p 60hz screen.

1660super is not bad, it's maybe 10-15% less off the gtx1080. The current 2060 super will probably be a gtx 1080 equivalent
