# nvidia-update
Checks for a new version of the Nvidia Driver, downloads and installs it.
## Usage
* Download `nvidia.ps1`
* Right click and select `Run with PowerShell`
* If the script finds a newer version of the nvidia driver online it will download and install it.
### Optional parameters
* `-clean` - deletes the old driver and installs the newest one
* `-folder ` - the directory where the script will download and extract the new driver
### How to pass the optional parameters
* While holding `shift` press `right click` in the folder with the script
* Select `Open PowerShell window here`
* Enter `.\nvidia.ps1 ` (ex: `.\nvidia.ps1 -clean -folder C:\NVIDIA`)
## Running the script regularly and automatically
You can use `SchTasks` to run the script automatically with:
```ps
$path = "C:"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $path | Out-Null
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/lord-carlos/nvidia-update/raw/master/nvidia.ps1" -OutFile "$path\nvidia.ps1" -UseBasicParsing
SchTasks /Create /SC DAILY /TN "Nvidia-Updater" /TR "powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $path\nvidia.ps1" /ST 10:00
schtasks /run /tn "Nvidia-Updater"
```
## Requirements / Dependencies
7-Zip or WinRar are needed to extract the drivers.
