How to download the NVIDIA Control Panel?
NVIDIA Control Panel is part of the NVIDIA graphics driver package. So the only way to download and install this application is to update or reinstall your graphics driver.
There are two ways you can get an NVIDIA graphics driver:
Option 1 – Automatically (Recommended) – This is the quickest and easiest option. It’s all done with just a couple of mouse clicks – easy even if you’re a computer newbie.
OR
Option 2 – Manually – You’ll need some computer skills and patience to update your drivers this way because you need to find exactly the right driver online, download it and install it step by step.
