New graphics drivers usually mean better performance and improved stability, but not always. If you've hit an issue following a recent update, you'll want to roll back your drivers to ensure your PC is back in working condition again.

What You Need

  • Windows PC with an Nvidia graphics card

You don't even need to download any kind of applications, although if you really want to clear out the old/new drivers and replace them with another, there are third-party driver cleaners that do an excellent job.

How to rollback Nvidia drivers with Device Manager

Nvidia's GeForce Experience might make it easy to update your GPU drivers and to reinstall them, but it doesn't have any kind of way to roll them back to a previous version. For that, we can use Windows 10 and 11's Device Manager.

Step 1: Use Windows search to look for Device Manager and select the corresponding result.

Step 2: Look for the icon called Display Adapters in the list of components and select the arrow next to it, or double-click it. It should then show your graphics card or chip in the drop-down.

Step 6: Choose a reason why you are rolling back, and select Yes. Then wait for the rollback to complete.

Note: Your screen may turn black once or twice during the process. Just wait a minute or so and you should see your driver date and driver version change to the previous driver you installed.

How to roll back your Nvidia drivers with DDU

If you're upgrading your graphics cards — especially if you're switching to a different brand of GPU — or if you just want to really make sure there is nothing of the old driver remaining, you need to use an application called Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU).

Step 1: Download DDU from the official website and extract the archive download to a new folder.

Step 2: Optional: The official instructions for DDU suggest you reboot into Safe Mode before continuing. You don't technically have to, but you probably should. Here's how to boot in safe mode in Windows 11, and how to boot to safe mode in Windows 10.

Step 3: Run the DDU application. If Windows tries to tell you it's unsafe, proceed to run it anyway. If you're concerned, run an antivirus scan on the .exe file beforehand.

Step 4: Close the options menu when it appears. The default settings are fine.

Step 5: Select the drop-down menu on the right that reads "-Select device type-" and choose Nvidia.

Step 6: From the options in the top-left, select Clean and restart.

Step 7: Let DDU run to complete the uninstall (you can follow along with its log) and when given the chance, allow, or encourage the system to reboot by making any relevant on-screen selections.

Step 8: When Windows starts back up again, open your favorite web browser and download the Nvidia drivers you want to roll back to from the official website. Then install them like you would any other driver.

Now that you have your drivers updated how you want them, why don't you check out our guide to the best Nvidia Control Panel settings to maximize your GPU performance.

Nvidia’s new GPUs are already running into problems
Nvidia Blackwell chips.

Nvidia's latest Blackwell GPUs are running into problems in the data center, reports The Information. According to the report, Nvidia's customers are worried about how well the AI accelerators will hold up, as overheating issues have caused delays in server racks being deployed for AI training.

The Blackwell architecture is at the heart of both Nvidia's next-gen AI accelerators and its upcoming RTX 50-series graphics cards. In the data center, the architecture was previously delayed due to "design flaws," pushing the deployment of the B100 and B200 GPUs back. That's despite big orders with AI players like Meta, Microsoft, and Google.

This may be your last chance to buy an RTX 40-series GPU at MSRP
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU.

Just last week, we reported on the end of production for the RTX 40-series. Now, new information from Board Channels (shared by Gazlog) suggests that the final shipments of Nvidia's best graphics cards are right around the corner. Some GPUs, like the RTX 4090, have already seen their final shipments. With the holidays on the horizon, now might be the last time to buy the RTX 40-series at a decent price before stock levels begin dwindling.

Despite being two years old, Nvidia's RTX 40-series has held up in terms of GPU prices. Only the RTX 4090 went up from its original recommended list price (MSRP), with the rest of the lineup  holding steady and mostly hovering around the launch price. Things might take a turn for the worse, though, if this report ends up being true.

Nvidia already makes some of the best graphics cards, but it's also not resting on its laurels. The RTX 40-series, which has been bolstered by a refresh, is now almost two years old, and Nvidia is hard at work on the next generation of GPUs.

The release date of RTX 50-series GPUs is still at least a couple of months away, but various rumors and leaks give us a better idea of what to expect. Here's everything we know about Nvidia's upcoming generation of graphics cards.
