i think amd does this for you?

Kinda, but it doesn't remove some files/registry items. I always use DDU to uninstall the driver.

That's good practice, but overkill. Those files and registry items can potentially be part of a problem, but in most cases aren't an issue.

I know, I just like to be sure :)
