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

Just swap it. Never had a problem going from one nvidia card to another.

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.

DDU?
Headed to work, but I can rehash the various cursed nature of this build. It's been multiple things and many just kinda come and go. Had a Samshit 970 die in a year but that was a known issue with early ones that I didnt know until it happened. Had a memory stick die, currently not running XMP for stability. Comp likes to restart overnight if I leave it idle with like too much chrome tabs active sitting at like 50% memory use. The gigabyte aorus 3080 10g I also had read some people having regular issues as well too.
I'm debating if I want to try and run any before after benchmarks for my own appreciation of the new card. Arc raiders likes to throw me random warning indicators on the side regularly though the game visually looks and plays fine. Might be too lazy to boot up cyberpunk for the first time and see how trash/better it gets.

You download this: Follow the directions.
Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) download version 18.1.4.2
Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) Official - Remove AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL Graphics Drivers Cleanly - DDU is a driver removal utility that helps you completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, leaving no leftovers behind, including registry keys...
www.guru3d.com
Then do a fresh install of the latest NVIDIA drivers and set your settings appropriately.
PC troubleshooting is a step by step process and usually it isn't hardware but software and in this case you can see the issue is with the graphics driver - doing this will clear the drivers completely and if the issue is still happening after, it is on to the next step.

Pain in the butt getting old card out so big. Ordering corsair adapter cable to match my psu as I didnt realize it uses the tiny pins like 5080/5090.
Clean install of drivers via nvidea app. Restarted for good measure. Black screen w/ buzz while booting, device ran into a problem. It auto cycled and booted to menu fine then....
App also still thinks I have the jan 27th driver to install, though under custom, it thinks a newer physx installed.

Boot into safe mode, remove the nvidia software, boot into windows and download the latest drivers and install them.
If you’re still having issues it may be hardware related, based on all the things that have been going wrong in your previous post.
Try that and report back so we can figure out if we need system/windows logs or run other tests.

Yeah he is getting corrupt file errors - but the issue with the always wanting to update drivers on his video card even when they are up to date led be to believe that before doing that he should start with a clean sweep of his Nvidia drivers and reinstall from scratch before going that route.

The corrupt fine errors is arc specific, numerous posts about it from others. Best I can tell it's fragments of ez anti cheat from other games possibly. But I'm not really keen on fresh installing everything on the computer and it still happening. Had fully deleted the EZ files I could find plus arc itself.

it’s also caused by GPU driver issues - which you obviously have right now since your system wants to continually update to the driver set you already have. I would start with @darkmiasma’s advice a couple of posts up before heading your way DDU. (If you want to fix it) If it were me however I would be booting to safe mode and running DDU and getting rid of registry issues as well. Then back to a regular windows boot and reinstall and see if that update issue resolved. Won’t take more than about 20 minutes.

Please note that windows has done something recently that created video issues with games. Basically what happened is I had integrated graphics set to auto (Where it would pick the GPU if available instead) and it was installing the drivers for the integrated graphics and the games couldn't figure out wtf was going on. It took me several weeks to figure out exactly what was happening.
I went into the Device Manager and found AMD Graphics 0.0.0.0 under display adapters on top of my 9070XT. I tried disabling and uninstalling the drivers, which worked at first but after every restart it would re-enable the device. I had to go into my BIOS and find that setting (Which was hidden in a weird menu name) and disable the integrated graphics, I then had to uninstall the drivers through device manager again. This resolved my issue, but it was a massive pain in the ass to figure out.
Unsure if this is your problem but it could be something worth looking into. Note, that it only screwed up with certain games and programs (Battlefield games and Divinci were my two biggest culprits).
