Question how to remove nvidia drivers without the graphic card?

[Avqel]

So i had a Gigabyte rtx 4060 & had the drivers installed for that one but me not knowing anything i wanted to upgrade my graphic cards to a amd radeon Rx7700 xt so i took to the old one out & did not remove the drivers and i traded it in for the new one and when i got home i just simply installed the new gpu and i uninstall anything related to Nvidia in the control panel and i download the new driver for AMD & ever since my gpu makes loud fan noises so what do i do ? i do not have the old graphics card.

use DDU in Windows Safe Mode to remove all graphics related data.
then restart and reinstall the latest package directly from AMD.

do i need to use DDU twice ? because im looking at youtube tutorials and it shows that i need to choose either AMD or Nvidia? or is there an easy way to just remove all graphic data at once ?

run it and see.

i've never had to remove both at the same time, so i don't remember what options appear in relation to that.

how can i tell that the driver was fully removed?

trust DDU if run correctly.
make sure to run from Safe Mode and select all options for removal.

do i check the box for “remove the driver/filter AMDKMPFD (A backup is recommended for AMD chipset)” ??? since you said select all options.

you didn't include your complete system specs so don't know if you have an AMD chipset or not.

if using an AMD motherboard just have the chipset driver package already downloaded and available for use and run DDU.

but, the AMD drivers are not the main concern here.
just make sure you have all of the Nvidia data removed.

Honestly best method is to back up all your games etc on a second drive and then just do a windows 10 reset and choose option all files etc this clears everything
