Do you have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti video card, and having graphical issues such as game stuttering? If so, then your video card driver is likely outdated or faulty. You want to make sure your graphics driver is up-to-date so it can function properly. This article will walk you through how to download and install your new GTX 980 Ti driver.
How do I update my driver?
There’s two ways to download and install the new version of your GTX 980 Ti driver:
Automatically (Recommended!) – With just a few clicks, you’ll be able to update your driver easily with Driver Easy.
Manually – You would need to go to the Nvidia website, and search for the driver for your graphics card and Windows version. Note that if you want to make sure your driver is constantly up-to-date, you need to check their website quite often because they update the drivers on a frequent basis.
Option 1: Automatically (Recommended!)
If you don’t have the time, patience, or computer skills to update your drivers manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct driver for your exact video card and your Windows version, and will download and install it correctly:
- Download and install Driver Easy.
- Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
- Click the Update button next to the flagged graphics card driver to automatically download the correct version of the driver (you can do this with the FREE version). Then you’ll need to install it via Device Manager.
Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. (This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.)
