Question new gpu install

[jerry atrick]

I am going to upgrade my gpu, staying with nvidia. I know to uninstall the drivers. Do I uninstall the other things in programs and features( frameview, phys x, audio driver). I can't find any info on this, maybe not looking in the right place. Thank you.

DDU will remove all drivers from the old gpu and once you put in your new GPU just install the drivers and then play!

I think the driver will be the same, so you technically need do nothing.
That said, after a new graphics card, I would reinstall the current driver.

Did you ever wonder how a utility like DDU makes their money?
I am skeptical about using such helper apps.

Thank you. I feel the same. I read the guide on the ddu website, it has the statements "in case something goes wrong" and"shouldn't be a problem" several times in the instructions. Doesn't inspire alot of confidence in me. It also says to set a restore point before you start. No thanks.

Setting a restore point before doing something unusual is a good idea.
I do that for windows updates, not for graphics driver updates.
