📋 How to Use This Guide


  1. Identify your hardware – model numbers matter (e.g., RTX 4070 SUPER, ROG STRIX B650E-F).

  2. Uninstall old drivers (Display Driver Uninstaller is great for GPUs) before major version jumps.

  3. Create a restore point—especially before BIOS flashes or firmware updates.

  4. Run benchmarks twice: once before and once after updating to quantify gains.

  5. Stay subscribed—we refresh this list monthly as vendors move or rename their pages.

Happy tweaking! 🖱️💾🚀
