How to: Update Your NVIDIA Graphics Card

Understanding the capabilities of your graphics card is important when using any redaction software; it can assist in troubleshooting and determining the performance level for redaction tasks. To check your graphics card on a Windows system, follow these steps:

Step 1  Check Your Graphics Card

  • In your Windows search bar, search for Device Manager and click the first option.
  • Once opened, select Display Adapters to see your GPU(s) and confirm it’s an NVIDIA card.

Step 2 — Update Your NVIDIA Driver

⚠️ You may need your IT’s approval before updating drivers on a work machine.

The recommended method today is the NVIDIA App. The GeForce Experience has largely been superseded by the official NVIDIA App, which provides a more responsive and integrated experience and automatically scans your hardware to compare your installed driver against the latest available release.

To update:

  1. Download the NVIDIA App from nvidia.com/drivers
  2. Open the NVIDIA app and go to the Drivers tab.
NVIDIA app UI with a vertical left navigation bar; the Drivers tab is highlighted in red.
  1. If an update is available, click Install.

  1. After you install the update, restart your computer.

“Which driver type should I choose?”

Choose Game Ready Drivers if you prioritize day-of-launch support for the latest software. Choose Studio Drivers if you prioritize reliability for creative workflows like video editing, rendering, or AI-based applications. For redaction software with AI detection features, Studio Drivers are generally the better fit.

Latest stable driver as of May 2026: The GeForce Game Ready 610.47 WHQL driver was released May 26th, 2026.

Step 3  Manual Driver Download (Alternative)

If you prefer not to use the app, go directly to nvidia.com/drivers and use the dropdown menus to select your GPU model, series, and OS, then download and install manually.

Step 4 Configure CaseGuard

After installing updated drivers, open CaseGuard Studio and adjust the Video Settings to select the NVIDIA GPU for AI detection tasks, then restart the application.

Troubleshooting

If a driver install fails or causes instability, use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) in Safe Mode to completely wipe all NVIDIA driver traces from the system, then perform a clean install. Windows also allows you to roll back to a previous driver via Device Manager → Display Adapters → right-click GPU → Properties → Driver tab → Roll Back Driver.
