Ok been trying to find the thread now for a minute and can't find the 600 series drivers update guide for some reason and it was starting to erk me so I figured I would post to ask.
 
I want to confirm that updating drivers now no longer requires you to do a driversweeper run or w.e. Do I just install the new drivers or do I still do the uninstall of current drivers + precision and then reinstall new drivers + precision?

    Ahhh yes, your correct on that. The new drivers nowadays has the driver cleaner built in. Just check the box for that. (Where's Maniacvvv when you need him?)       LOL!

    Yah was going to pm him but figured Id get a quicker response here. Still to used to doing the driver stuff with my 560. Went through the whole uninstall reboot, run drive sweeper reboot, then reinstall and do the same with precision. Going to install these new drivers now and hopefully have no issues.

    Driver Sweeper doesn't cause issues, user error when using driver sweeper is what causes problems. Do you need to use driver sweeper anymore? Probably not but I always use it along with CCleaner.

    No need to use that anymore. Just check the "Perform a clean installation" option.

    Can you replace the old one with the new one in your sig then? Makes it easier on us to find it.
