Installing NVIDIA drivers on Windows

Guide to installing NVIDIA GPU Drivers on Windows

What are Drivers?

A driver is a piece of software that acts as a translation layer between the applications & OS running on your computer and the physical hardware present in the system. By default when you install Windows using one of our templates on your GPU VDS, you may notice that the GPU doesn't show up on your applications or even in the task manager. To get Windows & your applications to detect your GPU, you'll need to install the relevant drivers for it.
