Good program to get rid of old graphics drivers?

mat45

Hey guys it's me again. I have a question for you:

 

I am buying either a GTX 970 or a GTX 980 to replace my GTX 560 Ti.

 

I wanted to know what program I'd need to get rid completely of the old drivers in order to avoid any possible conflicts when I'll install the new GPU.

You tried GeForce experience? I don't know if that does, but it's to do with drivers.

Just run the built in uninstaller with the driver, via Control Panel.

Display Driver Uninstaller. It has superseded Driver Sweeper.

Remove the drivers through the control panel then run DDU in safe mode. Worked real good for me so far.

You'll be fine if you just download the latest drivers from nvidia, and tick perform a clean install.

This.

 

Food for thought --> Be mindful if you have an AMD CPU installed, so is AMD software, which also gets taken with DDU's AMD driver removal.

Apart from that one small thing, DDU is the best there is.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

the iGPU drivers for AMD APU's get wiped yes... CPU's don't have drivers.

AMD Chipset Drivers is obviously what I meant by the AMD CPU software that gets deleted by DDU.
