so we have the card but how do we get it in the system don't worry my friends in this video i'm
going to show you how to install the evga geforce rtx 3090 ftw 3 ultra gaming edition
i'm pretty hyped let's get started alright so to start off with we're going to go ahead
and prep our system so what we're going to do first is go to wagnersoft.com and i'll
put a link down in the description below and then we'll click on the latest version here
okay and then on this screen we're going to scroll down a little bit and then click official download
here so that's downloaded now we're going to come to nvidia.com it doesn't matter if you have
an msi an evga an asus an asrock card whatever you have nvidia makes the gpu even though all
those companies all the aibs will have their own drivers and video is always going to have
the latest and the greatest so on nvidia.com we're going to go to drivers geforce drivers
we're going to down here we're going to go to rtx 30 series geforce rtx 3090 select your version of
windows and then we click start search now the card just came out so these drivers might not
be perfect but they are the latest they came out well on the 17th and then download now
all right now that we're done downloading the driver we're just going to go over here open
file on ddu and we're going to go ahead and put it in the root you can have it wherever
you want but it's easier for me to remember right here on the root and then click extract
okay so now we're going to hold down the left shift key
right click on the start button shut down or sign out and then click restart now on choose
an option we're going to go ahead and click troubleshoot advanced options startup settings
restart to change windows options such as all this stuff what we're looking for is enable safe mode
and then click restart okay here we're going to press the number four for enable safe mode
all right so then when we're in windows we're going to click on file explorer
go to this pc and the c drive here we'll find ddu then we'll click display driver uninstaller
and okay here okay so now here you're going to want to be very careful if you have an amd chipset
like an amd processor and a motherboard for that processor of course pay close attention
here to andy specific options you're going to uncheck remove c amd folder
leave this unchecked leave unchecked remove amd audio bus leave checked remove amd crimson shader
cache folder and leave checked dhc driver one very important one you're going to want to check
is to make sure that prevent downloads of drivers from windows updates make sure there is a check
there the reason for that is that prevents windows from installing automatically the driver they want
you want to install your own driver okay so then coming back over here just because i'm going to
go ahead and check remove physics even though again i have an amd card just because and
then i'll click close here then over here under select device type i'm going to select
gpu and it automatically detects i have an amd but if you had intel you're going to click intel if
you have nvidia you're going to click in video if you have an amd you're going to want to select amd
so i have amd and then i'm going to go ahead clean and do not restart and that'll take a few seconds
okay clean uninstall completed would you like to exit now yep we'll click yes here and then now
we'll go ahead and right click on the start button shutdown or sign out and then click shut down
all right so now we're ready to go ahead and uninstall the previous video card all
right now with the system off we're going to want to go ahead and just
turn off the power on the power supply right back here just click it off
so now we're going to go ahead and just ground ourselves by touching the case and so the next
thing we're going to go ahead and do is disconnect the pcie cables from the previous video card
okay now amd cards have the pin on the top and video cards have the pin on the bottom so we're
just going to hold this little clip here and pull the card out or pull the pcie plug out
and then on this side we'll do the same thing and just pull it out easy enough
right all right so now we're going to go ahead and undo the screws holding the card in
now there's one more little thing you can't just go pulling the video card out
because you could actually end up damaging your pcie slot so if you notice there's a little latch
back here and let me zoom in so you can see it okay so right here when i push that in you might
notice the cards slide out just a little bit so i'm going to go ahead zoom out just a tiny bit
okay and now i'm going to push that in so you may not have noticed that but if you look right
here at that pin when i push this card back in that little pin is going to lock in place
okay so we'll just go ahead push that back in and now we can easily take the card out
and i forgot to disconnect the hdmi connection before so make sure you do that before you
yank on it hard we're going to go ahead and slide this section right into the pcie slot
and we'll just slide it in and let me bring in so you can have a different angle okay so that we're
also going to be sliding these two in right back here you'll notice two little holes in between
these slot covers and the motherboard and then we'll go ahead and just slide the card in
okay and you might have heard the little click over there the retention mechanism
just locking the card in place and now we're going to go ahead and screw in the video card
now we're going to go ahead and plug in the pcie cables okay so if you remember
i mentioned the clip is going to be on the bottom on nvidia cards so we're just going to go ahead
and just easily push that in you'll hear a little click that little clip just latching on
let me bring you in on a different angle so you can see the other two now we'll just
now remember for this you're going to need at least a 750 watt power supply
i'd probably recommend a little bit higher sorry it's kind of odd angle with the camera there
promise it's a lot easier in person
now this is a six plus two pin
and nvidia recommends that they are on separate pcie cables
you'll notice these are each separate cables they're not adapters or anything along those lines
all right so this is going to be my first time as well turning on the pc with this new video card
i just got it today so who knows what's gonna happen should work but let's see
that's right i forgot to turn the power supply back on one sec
and i also forgot to plug in the hdmi cable
normally i go through displayport but because i have a capture card i'm going through hdmi
don't worry that's normal
and monitor is turning on it's turning on my capture card
all right so we're in windows now and everything's going to look really fuzzy really dirty
and that's okay because we're using basic video drivers so go into file manager
go into downloads and you'll find the drivers we just downloaded double click on that
and click ok here unless you want to change the path
you guys are doing it with me first it's pretty exciting so in a second while we're installing
the drivers the resolution is going to get all funky so that's normal so we'll i always leave
the default graphic driver and geforce experience and click agree and continue
and i choose custom next even though we've ddu'd the system i always click perform a clean install
click next and this is going to take a minute or so
all right that was a lot quicker than i thought it would be so we'll just uncheck those click
close and that's it we're in windows so this is an old version of uh gpu-z but let's see what happens
let's see what it reads ah well it's an old version so right now if we right click on the
background click nvidia control panel agree and continue this is a 43 inch
monitor so the scaling is a bit off right now but here we can see the entire control panel
and let me go ahead and download gpu-z but we can see here geforce rtx 3090
okay and sure i'll update now may not be up to date but i assume it is all right
so here we can see nvidia geforce rtx 3090 and well we can see all the information evga
and then all the clock speeds the driver version the memory size 24 gigs and then
everything is enabled down here since we only have one video card we don't see two options down
here so that is how you install the evga geforce rtx 3090 f2w3 ultra gaming that's a mouthful of
course there is an easier way you can use amd or nvidia's driver to uninstall and then reinstall
the latest driver or just install over but this is the cleanest way to avoid potential issues
