Uninstalling the AMD/ATI or Nvidia DriversĪlright then.

If you have no idea what you’re doing, please take your system to a professional. and I take no responsibility for any problems that may arise from you using this guide. This guide is provided for informational purposes only. Now before we begin, I have to go through the obligatory disclaimer. Generally this isn’t the case, but in situations where you’re dealing with Beta drivers or switching between GPUs from different vendors, there’s a good chance that some of these issues may pop up in one way or another. While many of you simply uninstall your graphics driver in the Programs and Features menu in the Control Panel (and this is fine in many cases), removing drivers in such a way leaves behind extra registry keys and drivers in the driver store, which may sometimes cause issues s uch as blue screens, driver install hangs, weird display bugs, unusually low performance, and other annoying bugs. Because I generally only use one testbench for testing so that benchmark results can be compared between different GPUs, I’m constantly faced with the need to properly uninstall old AMD or Nvidia GPU drivers.

As a GPU reviewer, I spend a ton of time testing both AMD and Nvidia GPUs using a variety of GPU drivers.
