# Nvidia Video Drivers

## The Problem

**Maybe you don't need Nvidia Video Drivers in your Dell Driver Packs . . .**&#x20;

## Know your Hardware

A closer look at my Nvidia Display Adapters shows that I will probably need 3 Quadro drivers (340, 377, and 431) to support just about everything

## The Solution

For me, I plan on deploying the Nvidia Video Drivers separately (similar to the Intel Video Drivers).  I'll post a write-up on that later, but I can remove any Nvidia Video Drivers by adding a **`RemoveVideoNvidia`** parameter (similar to AMD Video Drivers)

```
Get-DownDellModel -WorkspacePath D:\OSDDrivers -Pack -RemoveAudio -RemoveVideoAMD -RemoveVideoNvidia
```

## Size Comparison (5 Driver Packs)

Here is a comparison of the successful Driver Packs with the Audio Drivers removed (including the default Intel Video Driver removal)
