Switching from AMD to Nvidia - driver cleaning help

[CaptainRAVE]

So after a very long time with AMD I am switching to Nvidia. I don't fancy a full OS install, is there a guide somewhere to removing AMD drivers ready for the new card?

Thanks

You can just remove the old GPU, plug in the new GPU and download the latest drivers and off you go.

If you want to be rid of the devil, download DDU - Uninstall the old AMD drivers, follow the onscreen prompt for installing a new GPU after removing the drivers - remove old dirty/filthy/disgusting GPU - Insert brand new shiny shiny GPU - Install latest drivers from NVidia.

Just uninstall the AMD Drivers, shut down and install the card, then boot up and install the NVIDIA driver.

It's not black magic... there haven't be any issues with AMD/NVIDIA/Intel graphics drivers for about 10 years (i.e. when Win XP was still current) - in fact you can actually have all 3 sets of drivers installed on the same machine (What sorcery is this? )

Driver cleaners should be a last resort, not a first choice.

Mind blown

If you do have any issues though ... +1 for DDU

As I previously ran both for years in the same system, while I agree on the most part, if he's unlucky like I was, DSR wasn't accessible without an OS reinstall going AMD>Nv, even after resorting to DDU.
