    Just making sure Im doing this right

    1) I download this
    NVIDIA DRIVERS 275.33 WHQL
    2) I set bios to discrete
    3) I uninstall nvidia driver
    4) Use driver sweeper to clear out all the nvidia files it finds
    5) Restart in safe mode, install 275.33 driver

    on #4, do I wipe out all the nvidia files, or select one from the chipset / display / physx?

    edit
    nvm it worked

    He is no doubt trying them based on feedback others gave. There might be a particular game that benefits from that version over newer/older ones.
