Question Do I have to also uninstall the Integrated Graphics Drivers when switching from Nvidia to AMD graphics card.

[Darth Killhoon]

This is probably a noob question, but I watched several videos of how to swap from one card to the other. One video in particular the guy recommended deleting both the Nvidia Drivers with DDU but also he deleted the AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics which I know is the Integrated Graphics on the Processor. For context I have the 7800X3D and I am switching from a Nvidia 3060 that I pulled out of my old build until I could replace it with a 7900XT I got on Black Friday for $619, and I want to do the swap myself but I have only had to swap the cards because I've always been team green to this point. Essentially my neurons were firing and saying that it doesn't see the point of deleting the drivers for the integrated graphics and that both are the process and graphics card are running AMD graphics anyway and it shouldn't be a concern right?

Any resources on this would also be helpful since most people don't switch green to red, mostly its only red to green.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When using DDU, you remove all GPU drivers(Intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode. As for the iGPU, I tend to disable it in BIOS since the iGPU does utilize your ram, which does take a little performance off your overall platform. This is why I remove it's drivers if it was installed by the OS after a first boot situation.

As for your Nvidia driver, source the latest version, then manually install it in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
