Changing GPU from AMD to NVIDIA (Drives)

[Riot NoHigh5]

I’m gonna change my GPU, Asus R9 270X, to an Asus GTX 980Ti. And I don’t know how to uninstall the AMD Drives and install the NVIDIA drives. Can somebody help me?

add/remove programs. then shut down. pull old card/install new card. boot up/let windows find card/install pre-downloaded nvidia drivers.

Moved to Graphics Cards.

 

Use Display Driver Uninstaller to remove your AMD drivers, but before you do that, make sure you have the NVIDIA drivers downloaded to your PC in some form.

Run this

And then download the latest drivers from Nvidia's website.

i gotta say here., personally i think these extra programs are not worth it to people who don't know what they are doing. before you know it drivers other than the ones related to or installed with the graphics drivers will disappear and new problems arise. that's why i say add/remove programs. no sense in over doing it especially when dealing with newbs.

Using Display Driver Uninstaller is easy and gets rid of everything about the drivers.

You mean the AMD Clean Uninstall tool? It's literally a couple clicks. My four year old niece could do it.

So.... What should I do then?

there's actually a program that won't grab up motherboard drivers with everything else?

Run the AMD Clean Uninstall that I linked and then install Nvidia's drivers. Simply uninstalling it from the control panel will leave unnecessary files on your system that you'll want removed.

Nope, I use DDU every time I switch vendors or I am having issues and want a clean slate for GPU drivers to be installed on.

 

DDU just gets rid of all traces of whatever GPU vendor you choose to uninstall. I have Intel iGPU drivers that never get uninstalled when I use DDU and haven't noticed anything else gone missing.
