You won't, driver sweeper is for removing remnants of drivers for the audio & video hardware. (I guess I wasn't very clear on that post) the first sentence says your cores out of sync wasn't the problem.

Did you use driver sweeper before installing the new drivers? There could be remnants of the older driver on the system causing issues with the newer ones, using driver sweeper will remove those pieces.
In this sentence I was referring to your new video card drivers, If you didn't completely remove the old ones before installing the newer ones, it can cause issues (like the ones you're describing).

Basically what you'd be doing is

1. remove video drivers
2. boot into safe mode and run driver sweeper (letting it remove any remnants of the video driver)
3. reboot normally and reinstall the video drivers.
