NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

No need for DDU or anything like that. If its the same brand, the drivers are all the same, literally its the same code base for every driver from 20xx series to the 5090. no need to even update if there hasn't been a release. As Darkmiasma says, Just put the new physical card in and same as it ever was. The driver will detect and know what to do, how to use the new hardware available to it, etc.

Congrats on the new card

He’s been having crashing issues, errors, etc so without that knowledge, short of an OS wipe you should see if some of those issues resolve. Also sounds like it’s already spitting out weird issues

Not sure if its my card, it's been stuck saying I have a january 17th driver to install, install and reboot and it's still saying it's available.

I haven't had an Nvidia card in a daily driver since a 3080 10GB but if you need to do a complete uninstall of the drivers, sure. I would do the regular driver uninstall/reinstall with a newer/later version first before I tried DDU. Obviously, one starts simple and then gets more invasive as required; regular drive package uninstall/reinstall, DDU, then if issues still occur, come back and lets troubleshoot further. Changing out the card removes any hardware as well.
