Looking to update your current GPU drivers OR installing/upgrading to a NEW GPU? This is for you! - i've been meaning to have a full guide on clean GPU driver installs for a while now, this will also be added to the playlist making it super easy to follow along and come back to in the future if you ever need it! :)

resizeable bar not showing on my 3070ti laptop

Its 7 years since i last had a gaming rig. Id forgotten about ddu 😮 good guide, very comprehensive

Great advice and thanks for the video, Panjno. One additional step I do when using DDU, I remove the ethernet cable from the system before running the uninstall. This will prevent Windows from installing the graphic card driver at re-boot when you get to the desktop.

You’re videos are such a breath of fresh air bro you basically teach us while lifting all the confusion and hassel of doing this things, thank you a lot I really appreciate it Panjno, I subbed to you man.

I always hit this vid up anytime i install new gpu drivers!! 🔥 Also that's like the 3rd time you upload this same video xD

Greetings Panjino, you make very good tutorials and I always follow your clips. Could you make a video of what you do first when you boot new system to the PC?

In the settings of DDU there is an option to have a safe mode dialogue when opening DDU, this automatically creates a restore point as well. There is also an option to disable windows update from installing Nvidia drivers. This has to be disabled when you're finished installing the drivers. Maybe a slightly more optimal method, maybe not. Also NVCleaninstall is a great tool to debloat and install the Nvidia drivers, also has a MSI enabling function in the install process.

Awesome video!!!!

Thanks helped out

Hey, I always watch your videos, there are a lot of good recommendations and the main thing is don’t pour water too quickly and thank you specifically!

Hey Panjno, if it's no problem to answer: is it worth it to format Windows before changing the GPU or does DDU do an 100% job as in not leaving traces and not leaving modifications to the system behind? Yes, it's on the neurotic side, but if there are marginal gains in doing the boring time-consuming long way job, I want them, it's not like I'm formatting daily. I always had this doubt.

No need to be neurotic. DDU is fine. It does a proper clean install. You'd only want to reinstall/format Windows if you messed up something major that makes your Windows experience horrible (slows, stutters, viruses, crashes, random restarts).

Nice and concise, keep it up mate!

I have to backup my settings with Nvidia Profile Inspector, otherwise every setting will be lost, am I right?

do u have to swap the display cables to the mobi for this ? my cpu doesnt have integrated graphics

Tip No1, do research for said GPU on THE SPECIFIC GAME you be playing 90% of the time. Download the most STABLE and Best performance drivers REGARDING THE SPECIFIC GAME. Never blindly download "latest" drivers they tend to be buggy, worse and set for less performance especially around summer time in purpose for boosting next years new GPU sales.

@kostistsiutras4373

​@@gokulthenoob research on reddit forums no clickbaity youtube videos for sure. You find the most efficient driver on your favorite game and the tricky part is finding it cause usually the very best performance/stability drivers are old and they might not be on Nvidias manual driver downloadin section . In my case im on rtx4090 runnin one of the very first drivers 536.23

@@gokulthenoob It's not like there is a place that says which is the best driver for "X" game, you have to look for driver comparisons in that game u play most, there are a lot on YT, but if you want to go for a stable driver, go to 546.29,see Khorvie Tech video about it.

For AMD gpu do you need to reinstall the chipset (motherboard) drivers ? when you perform the fresh download. I saw in an older video about using ddu that AMD needs to get the drivers for their mother board also.

thank you panjno! I formatted my computer and I'm having problems installing the driver for my GPU again, every time it's installing the screen freezes and doesn't complete the installation, I tried installing the driver in safe mode and it almost worked, the installation complete 100% but when I start windows in normal mode the screen goes black and windows doesn't start, I also tried using the DDU according to your tips but it doesn't give the same problems.

But it wont let you download the Nvidia driver if u dont have a Nvidia card inside...And the card i installed wont work to download it, my screen is just black wtf...So how do you et the Nvidia drivers having a AMD card?

You should also disable ur network before going into safe mode so window updates won't mess up ur process.

What about just using nvidia ge force experience to update? Doesn’t it clear previous driver versions or why doing it with other tools?

could you make an ark survival ascended fps boost guide because my pc blows up whenever i try to play it on low settings. (i have an rtx 4060)

in your videos I see your GPU usage is at +90% mine never gets that far. I have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060Ti. How can I get the most out of my GPU? I was playing Jedi Fallen Order and even at 60 fps capped using RivaTunner it would ocassionally stutter.

ive used the new app and geforce exp and for the last couple weeks i havent been able to update my drivers. it keeps saying it failed to install, i deleted the app thinking that was the problem and reinstalled GE with the same result. tried clean install tried everything i can think of. any suggestions?

I have a problem that tells me every time that I have to restart or re-download, and when I try to download the driver, I do not find it.

Is this applicable for laptops with integrated amd display driver and nividia gpu

There is a problem. Do I need to disconnect the network first before installing a new driver?

Do you know how to fix GPU increase then immediate decrease in usage? Mine will go from being about 1.9 to 300+ then back down after a couple of seconds.

Love you bro

After DDU, u might need NV Clean Install "which" is a must IF anyone want to bypass all the "bloat" and "unwanted" :/

I have a aorus master 4090 and asus tuf 7900 xtx oc. I swap these gpus once a month almost. When swap to the 4090, I go to safe mode and usee ddu to clean amd gpu drivers, and use "amd cleanup utility" which doesnt uninstall chipset drivers as i have 7800x3d. The go to windows without the safe mode and install nvidia gpu driver. Same when swap to the 7900 xtx, in safe mode first I use ddu then "nvidia cleanup tool" and then returning to windows without safe mode I install amd adrenalin drivers..Only ddu doesnt remove everything. Need the cleanup tools its must. For intel idk lol..

When using DDU, is it necessary to use safemode, or can you use it in regular mode? I've done both, but to be honest, I don't see or understand the difference. Could you please explain? Also, with regards to Bitlocker, is it necessary to have it on? I'm asking, because I usually have to input my entire Bitlocker code just to access safemode. Thanks a lot!

Why are you saying that to avoid windows from installing an old driver by switching off the wi-fi or wired connections when all you need to do is start windows in safe mode start up DDU and the options page will automatically start up, then just goto bottom and check the box "prevent downloads of drivers from "windows update " when "windows " search for a driver for a device" And this will stop windows from installing a driver
