Hi, I’m having problems with my GPUs, I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and Radeon RX 580 series,one GPU for each monitor, for compability reasons I phisically removed the RADEON GPU and I proceed to update the NVIDIA, it allowed me to updated it but it crashed because the monitor got black, after I restarted, thru the basic display Adapter, the Device Manager showed the NVIDIA with a yellow triangle, disable/enable, it showed the updated driver but still not working , I rolled back to the previous driver ( 2017 old driver) and it back to normal. I tried the DDU app with the same result. So I am stuck with the old driver, How to succefully update the driver to the latest ? Any advice will be appreciated, thanks

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 ti

i dont want to be mean but what did ya expect from newer drivers for your old gpu´s ?
i just say this because gaming should not be your concern with these gpu´s

just for example the latest 3 drivers for amd gpu´s are only for 7000 series.
so if ya have no troubles why update?
 
I'd put the RX580 back in if I was you. It's 39% more powerful than the 1050Ti.

Also, if the driver is working and allowing you to play games, why not just use it?

You don't need one GPU for each monitor, just more Display Port or HDMI leads.
 
Correct, I don't want it for Games, I just have message from my recent downloaded: the Adobe Premiere Pro and stated: "Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 ti is Unsupported Driver, please update your driver". In the System/Display/Graphics , I changed the Adobe Premiere Pro Graphic Preference at Specific Radeon but this software still showing the same message.
 
Can you post a GPU-Z screenshot of your 1050 TI?
 
Not a real card its a Fermi

Do you mind to post a photo of your card? There was a rash of counterfeit 1050 TI cards going around. Also, if you run GpuMemTest, does it come up with an error?
GF106 tells me
 
I ran the GpuMemTest in the NVIDIA GPU and crashed my computer , blue screen with : video sheduler internal error, and restart it by itself, it seems that it is a fake GPU,

As soon as that came up with gf106, its not a legit card, Its a old ass fermi, bin it
 
All right, I'll get another Radeon GPU, I really appreciated you guys help, thanks
 
here is but it said (Fake) Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 ti? what this mean?

For a wise consumer, Fake it translates to contact your seller and request refund.
From the side of NVIDIA its their obligation to deliver high perforce Driver for their Chip.

Conclusion, it was a bad idea to buy cheapest 1050 from eBay from unknown source.
You are not the first scammed and neither the last.
 
GF106, 192/16/12 shaders/ROPs/TMUs, 700 MHz with GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus. That looks like a downclocked GTS 450.

And yes, no reason to run both cards. Unless you do something with the machine that runs exclusively (or at least drastically better) on nVidia cards, the RX 580 would be perfectly fine for everything. Well, unless you need more performance. But in that case, you can still be pretty manufacturer agnostic, if your software doesn't care either.

You should mention the exact driver version you had the problem with. I would also recommend with older GPUs, always checking the supported GPU model list, which all Nvidia drivers show in their driver release notes.
