The new one is DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). Get that here on Guru3D.

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html


Works best. Designed to run in safe mode, will remove all drivers you specify. When you run it, select "clean and shut down", change our your card, start up and install the new drivers.

OK, so I got my new 4060 ti in, some new cables and Im about ready to do the swap.

Is it still recommended to use CCleaner to wipe the drivers, shut down the machine, install the new card and then install the drivers from the site?
I've never even heard about using CCleaner for wiping drivers!

Instead using DisplayDriverUninstaller (DDU) has been recommended for ages especially if you change from one design to another. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/Display-Driver-Uninstaller-DDU-V18065-Released

[edit]Oh, didn't notice Drano's post as it was on the next page. Wagnard is the one who makes DDU, Guru3D is a retailer.[/edit]

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.
