I have a Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 running Windows 11 Pro with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6. Dell SupportAssist is suggesting I install Version 32.0.15.8195 that's dated January 13, 2026. However, the NVIDIA application recommends Version 595.97 that was released on March 24, 2026. I'm confused about the differences between them and which one I should actually install. Do I need to install both, or will there be any conflicts? And if I decide to go with the NVIDIA app's version, will Dell SupportAssist stop prompting me for its version? Currently, the NVIDIA app shows that I have GeForce Game Ready Driver Version 581.04 installed, while Windows Device Manager lists Driver Version 32.0.15.8104 (from August 14, 2025) and Intel® Graphics Version 32.0.101.8132 (from September 19, 2025).

Just be cautious when changing drivers. Make sure to back up your data before doing any installations, just in case a driver causes issues. Better safe than sorry!
Go for the March release, which is Version 595.97. It's newer than the version Dell is suggesting and is directly from NVIDIA, which means it's optimized for your graphics card.
I agree with the others—install the March driver. It should provide better updates and potential fixes over the older versions. Plus, using NVIDIA's drivers often helps avoid issues with games.
I'd recommend downloading the driver directly from NVIDIA's website. They usually have the latest releases, and Version 595.97 is the most up-to-date one. It's generally safer to go with the latest drivers for better performance and compatibility with games and applications.
