Hi guys. This is likely a dumb question but I'm slowing down a bit, sorry. My card is an EVGA GeForce GTX970. I'm reinstalling Windows 10 64bit for the first time since I bought the card. But I can't remember which driver I should be looking for. Is this card a 9 series or a 900 series? I've downloaded both the 341.95-desktop-win10-64bit and the 531.79-desktop-win10-win11-64bit. Thanks. EDIT: I don't play any demanding games on this computer. Zuma2 and Cooking Fever would be about as much work as it gets.

get GeForce Experience. Download that and it will tell you what drivers you need. I'm not sure, but this may be what you need.

531.79 is the latest driver for your 970 and Windows 10.

DoctorXX69: I'm not sure GFE alone would see the card. The system, at this early point, only sees it as a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.
bdary: Thanks, I'll try installing 531.79.
Cheers.

Hi guys. This is likely a dumb question but I'm slowing down a bit, sorry.
My card is an EVGA GeForce GTX970. I'm reinstalling Windows 10 64bit for the first time since I bought the card.
But I can't remember which driver I should be looking for. Is this card a 9 series or a 900 series?
I've downloaded both the 341.95-desktop-win10-64bit and the 531.79-desktop-win10-win11-64bit.
Thanks.

Yes, yoiu would look under "900 series"  531.79-desktop-win10 is the newest NVIDIA Driver Downloads Windows Driver Type "DCH" refers to drivers developed according to Microsoft's DCH driver design principles; DCH drivers are built with requisite Declarative, Componentized, Hardware Support App elements. DCH drivers are installed on most new desktop and mobile workstation systems. "Standard" refers to driver packages that predate the DCH driver design paradigm. Standard drivers are for those who have not yet transitioned to contemporary DCH drivers, or require these drivers to support older products. DCH drivers can be installed over a system that presently has a Standard driver, and vice versa. To confirm the type of driver that is presently installed on a system, locate Driver Type under the System Information menu in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
