This was brilliant and enabled me to upgrade my graphics card flawlessly (though the DDU website had changed slightly which caused some confusion). Anyway, I'm up and running now and noticing a huge difference. Thanks.

PLEASE READ: UPDATE - 5/15/2023: It appears that uninstalling GPU drivers on newer AMD models may cause a no video output condition, where the GPU is on but your monitor is not getting any signal. Here is what you might have to do: - Disable IGPU multi-monitor in your BIOS ( you MAY have to reinstall your old GPU first to access the BIOS ) - Runn DDU again and see if you receive signal. ( This was tested by a commenter, thank you @Kenco. ) NOTE: Setting your power management mode to "Prefer Maximum Performance" in the NVIDIA control panel may force the GPU (especially 3000 series cards) to run at high clock speeds at all times (even when idle) and increase power draw. This could make idle temps much higher than normal or necessary, especially if you don't have good airflow in your case. Not necessarily a problem if you don't mind running fans at high speeds (i.e. LOUD) all the time. So if your idle GPU temps are really high, then switching back to the "normal" power management mode will remedy the issue. If they need max performance they can set it to run with specific games / programs.

Hey guys! Thank you so much for watching my video! Just to clarify, the 3070Ti in the machine IS my NEW GPU, in which I spent MONTHS trying to get and had to buy with a bundle. In the video, I don't replace it but I just pretend I do for tutorial purposes. In this video, I show you how to uninstall your old drivers using DDU / Install your new GPU / Install the latest drivers for your new GPU / and a few minor settings adjustments. The video is pretty long so I made chapters if you want to fast forward through certain sections. Doing it this way will ensure that your new GPU is affected by any old drivers from your last GPU! DDU can also be used as a diagnostic step if you are experiencing issues with your GPU. I hope this video is helpful for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please comment down below. Thanks for all your support and have a great day!

You are a legend man! I have been so stressed out for the past couple of weeks after upgrading my 1060 to a 3070ti. Everything was working fine in the beginning, but just got worse and worse every day. I was going over a million different possibilities as to why this is happening.... except for this, because I had no clue about it in the first place. I started getting BSOD's while playing games, my GPU usage was insanely high for doing such menial tasks like web browsing or running Wallpaper Engine, spiking all over the place like crazy, and the temps were getting higher. I had NO IDEA that doing a clean install like this was even a thing, and your tutorial was very easy to follow. I just finished and my GPU usage is completely fixed. Feels good man.

In the end I had to use this procedure to reinstall my original GTX 1060 because, unfortunately, the cable connectors provided by my older ATX 880 PSU did not include the 8-pin connector that the new 3060 card requires. So my only solution now may be to upgrade the PSU to something more current as well. It was a good afternoon however. The computer got cleaned, software updated, and everything was reinstalled and made working again. It's just a bummer that I'll have to wait a bit longer to get the new GPU up and running. My original comments stand. You did a great job explaining the process for me.

Thank you so much, after 10 years, upgraded my card to a 1060ti, the best card I could get for my money. Geez, the biggest mistake I did was not checking my monitor ports against GPU. So Instead of being able to use my 3 monitors, have to use 1 while I have ordered my adapters. 2nd, after installing GPU, went perfect, my windows didn't boot up. After trying to google the answer on my phone with the error code, I realised, maybe my SSD cable got loose as I had to adjust my wiring, so found the boot drive, the cable was loose so now my PC has booted up. Tips: 1) When switching your cards, make sure your monitor cables can go into the GPU, if not, buy the correct cables or adapters 2) When installing, make sure that you cables have been connected and is secure, not like mine where my SSD boot drive power cable got loose. But other than that, this was the perfect guide to follow. Hopefully when I do upgrade again in a few years time....that time, the installation will go perfect and I will differently learn from my experience here. Many thanks.

Then later in the day I was installing a game on Steam, listening to Spotify and using Chrome with multiple tabs open. Out of nowhere my PC crashed with this very loud buzzing sound for about a second, and after that it rebooted. After that I tried gaming again (The Division 2) and no issues once again. Maybe this is a huge coincidence out of nowhere but in the last 5 years I’ve never had this happen before (maybe once at most) so now I’m very paranoid lmao. Any idea what the issue could be? Like I said I have a 3060Ti with 32GB RAM, and an i7-6700K CPU. I know the latter is quite outdated, but I’d need to replace my motherboard as well to get a new CPU (and probably also my 600W PSU and CPU cooler), which I can’t really afford right now.

@@DanKamYouKnow Yeah I ran a Windows Memory Diagnostics test - since that’s what I found as a recommendation online - and then checked the logs, but truth be told I’m not an expert at understanding these things lol. There seems to be only one thing in the “Critical” category though, and that is Kernel-Power 41 (63). Online it says it basically means that Windows shut down incorrectly, and it recorded this in 5 instances, with 4 being very recent ones: 2/02/2023 (today around 1AM) 1/02/2023 23/12/2023 3/12/2023 9/08/2021 I don’t exactly remember what happened on 3/12, but it’s probably me accidentally turning off the electricity in my room, I remember doing that quite recently. On 23/12 I had this really strange monitor issue that I have solved now, so no problem there. On 1/02 it’s most-likely the issue I described in my previous comment, and 2/02 is probably referring to when I reinstalled Minecraft Bedrock and strange things started to happen. I was playing online with my cousin who’s on console, but the game was running slow and chunky all of a sudden. Eventually I found out that the in-game FPS limiter is what caused it (no wonder the “Experimental” warning is there), so once I put it to unlimited, things went back to normal. But before I found that out I decided to reinstall the game, and for some reason the screen started flickering a lot (this also happened beforehand a few times after simply Alt-Tabbing). But this time, the screen fully turned black as well and when I did a mouse click to see if it would go away, the system rebooted all of a sudden, so I guess this is what it’s referring to. I’ll keep an eye on it though and see if further weird crashes like these happen. If not then it’s probably all a big coincidence. Thank you for the help!

Thanks Aaron! Appreciate the sub and kind words!!

Had to come back to this video just to say that it works 100% follow it step-by-step on your phone and for older GPUs try every single display output before calling it quits Thank you so much for this video

Thanks for this video Dan! I recall that Jayztwocents had a similar video not terribly long ago but I'm glad that you made this video and made specific mention of unselecting all AMD options in DDU for those of us who have an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU on our systems. I know the last time I swapped out a GPU on a machine, it was in 2017 when I changed from a GTX 760 to a GTX 1060. At the time, I don't think DDU existed so I simply uninstalled the old drivers and shut down the computer before installing the GTX 1060 and then I installed the new drivers. I ran it for a couple of days to make sure the new card was stable before I formatted my hard drive and re-installed the OS. But it is a good idea these days to use DDU in safe mode as you have to erase all traces of the old GPU from the operating system. Personally, I don't use GeForce Experience, but that's personal preference LOL. Awesome that you make mention also of changing the refresh rate for your monitor and some of the Nvidia options.

Appreciate it Mark! DDU is such a great tool. I had issues with an AMD driver with my RX5700, and a DDU fixed it completely. I think if someone is putting spending all this money on a new GPU, taking 5 mins to run DDU is totally worth it. Especially if you’re going from AMD to Nvidia or vice versa.

I have a concern, I’ve never installed a GPU. I currently am going from AMD RX 580 to GeForce 1060 and I have an i5 intel cpu. Do I need to uncheck the AMD specific options?

Amazing video! Only thing that got me confused was when using DDU you mentioned "if you have a amd cpu (or at least what i heard) so if im transitioning a AMD to an nvidia do i check off those boxes? Or diff ones. Thanks for the help!

@@DanKamYouKnow I'm so confused - this is totally unclear in the video and is still unclear from your comment. I have an AMD build (AMD CPU and AMD GPU) and will be transitioning to an NVIDIA graphics card (AMD CPU and NVidia GPU). So what options are you saying to select and not select?

@DanKamYouKnow

Leave the AMD options in there unchecked, just like I have in the video. It will still delete your GPU drivers.

You're welcome! It's such a great tool to have. Great for diagnosing possible driver related issues too.

Great video, just installed my new nvidia T400. You made it easy. I searched Nvidia's website and other YT's for the info you provided. The one thing you didn't touch on which was noted on the wagnersoft website was that certain OEMs require you to use their proprietary drivers for the new card. Having downloaded both the Nvidia direct driver and in my case the HP version (much larger) I gambled and installed the HP version. Although I lost use of the native HDMI port I now have 3 new HD DP ports on my $150 new GPU card. Thanks for the help.

thank you so much for this! just bought a 4060 and never done this before. definitely subbed!

Important to note for VR users. Do NOT set Texture Filtering to Performance in NVidia control panel. You will see ground textures blurring right in front of you. Go for Quality if you're plan to play VR games. Same goes for that first slider. Go for Quality. Other than that this is a pretty solid tutorial! Just upgraded from a GTX 1080 to an RTX 4070 and needed a refresher on how to use DDU.
