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

  • On your search bar, search for device manager.
  • 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 The GeForce Experience has largely been superseded by the official NVIDIA App, which provides a more responsive and integrated experience and automatically scans your hardware to compare your installed driver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
  3. Click Download if an update is available.
  4. Restart your computer after the update is installed.

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.
