And have you got an alternative ?

If he has an AMD card, it has to be used.

I've used this numerous times in the past and it's always done me good , seems to clean up left files better than if you just use the uninstaller of the actual driver.

Never had a problem with it tbh Scania, have you? I only tend to use it when switching between AMD and nVidia cards though.

He's right been known to affect Windows by removing all trace of AMD that you cant install AMD drivers after using it. Once it frigs up Windows and causes pain you dont want to use them again. That old saying its good when it works but just that one time it don't......

I've only used DDU when having problems with drivers, or wanting to do a really clean install.

Not had to use it much, but when I have, I've never had a problem.

Other people on here, however, have experienced issues.

I guess the main use is when going from AMD to Nvidia or vice-versa.

Last time I used it was when I had my 290X due to HDMI sound issues. Caused Windows only to boot into safe mode, fortunately do differential backups each week.

How constantly is this updated as vendors are always adding/moving/changing things in their driver packages that could bork your OS if not removed correctly.
