I recently looked into my amd catalyst software and it told me about a new update for my GPU driver...do I need to uninstall my driver before installing the new one or will the new one override the old one?

Don't call me a nerd, it makes me look slightly smarter than you

Override, just click to update.

It is save to overwirte it, but you want take extra step then uninstall and install fresh driver.

DDU is only really useful when installing/uninstalling then something screws up the process corrupting it.

In most case DDU is not needed as AMD stated that it may cause more harm then good.
