[@igorprecep3420]

Nice and simple explanation of how to use DDU. Two things I would like to add on top of this AG DDU YT tutorial. First one is to start DDU as Administrator and #2 to use Windows Safe Mode instead of Windows Normal mode for removing GPU drivers using DDU. Been using DDU since early development stage (also was helping about collecting data for more detailed GPU drivers cleanup procedure, working on DDU localization on serbian...) and from my own experience DDU in Windows Safe Mode is-the-way-to-go if you want GPU driver related to be perfectly cleaned. There is an option in DDU to restart Windows in Safe Mode, check it and close DDU, start DDU again as an Administrator, choose to restart Windows in Safe Mode and proceed, DDU will start automaticaly after Windows boots into Safe Mode and after that choose other options related to your specific case/needs. Keep up the good work AG!

[@wiedapp]

Was wondering about the whole safe mode shebang already, thanks for the advice!

[@narwhal9852]

I mean there is literally a pop-up that tells you to run in safe mode

[@joelgrebinsilvestri]

Hello i first reboot into SAFE MODE. Then used Ddu to unistall drivers ans reboot into normal mode. Install all drivers. Thats ok??? I NEED TO install chipset but i dont know whats the one for my motherboard. How can i check ???? I have a lenovo legion 7 laptop. Please help! ❤

[@joelgrebinsilvestri]

@@igorprecep3420 thanks for your quick response! i did it and No driver updates are required for your machine. After i did the DDU for cleaning drivers i enter the amd website and found an option to auto detect drivers so i downloaded and installed gpu and chipset drivers already. the problem is that now when i go into amd radeon settings i find out that i am missing record and stream toolbar and some other options and the app itself says there are no updates. like i am up to date. so i dont know whats happening... do you have that? the adrenalite edition software/ thanks!

Seems to be a black ops 6 issue and not a windows issue, I think? People on Reddit are reporting the same crash with HDR, and lots of other crashing for black ops 6. If you want to replicate it you can Windows key+alt+b to enable HDR and toggle HDR in black ops 6 and try to alt-tab, that’s what is giving me a 100% crash rate. No issues with HDR off.

Great to know 💪

[@AlejandroJorqueraZ]

I remember that it was necesary to run DDU in safe mode. ¿Or was it in older versions?

[@AncientGameplays]

It never was, just advisable

[@AlejandroJorqueraZ]

@@AncientGameplays thank you!

[@paulboyce8537]

Thank you. Very useful.👍

[@AncientGameplays]

Thank you as well

[@GentlyUsedFrog]

I've been using AMD Cleanup Utility on every driver. I only use DDU once every 3-6 months just in case to purge everything as much as possible instead. Since the creator of DDU said it should only be used when you have driver issues, and not everytime. Though I don't know why there's a warning, I don't want to find out what happens when I use it too often.

[@tackier-n2g]

I know about 8 hardware YT channels that use DDU everytime they change driver versions. I've been doing it too for the past two years and have never had a single problem. It's up to you ultimately but I've never heard of a single person that's damaged their system in any way by using DDU too often.

[@GentlyUsedFrog]

@@tackier-n2g Oh alright, how come there's a warning then? Is there a specific reason? Actually curious now.

prob to avoid problem/ mistake like black screen, can force you to reinstall windows

Great vid as always , keep up the amazing work mate 👍👍

Google must be reading my mind showing this to me at a time when I'm about to upgrade GPUs. Thanks for the extra tip to update chipset drivers.

I can testify to DDU. I use it every time I am forced to do a clean install. I need help with armoury crate. The update keeps failing so nothing works and the full installer is dumb as a butt. Also, will that CPU cooler work with a AMD 5900. The CPU is kind of spicy.

[@md.atikurrahman7445]

I used cleanup to uninstall. Then should i download the graphics drivers or the chipset drivers??

[@AncientGameplays]

both, install gpu drivers first

[@STOOGEMAN7]

@@AncientGameplays after DD you when I install the drivers, do the chipsets automatically get installed as well if they’re outdated

[@Username4453]

​​@@STOOGEMAN7The chipset drivers are seperate from the gpu drivers. Update GPU drivers, then chipset. He goes over it in the video.

[@aguynamedqaz5192]

hi, would it be a good idea to leave the “prevent windows driver install” box unchecked? I am upgrading my graphics card and I thought Windows would automatically install drivers for me when I run my pc for the first time. Can I just do that and install drivers afterwards?

[@Eric-un2oq]

So when I used this ddu for the first time this morning I found much higher junction temps. I rolled back to the previous drivers and still have much higher junction temps. No other changes were made. Gpu temps are similar, junction temps went from 65 or so peak to 82 is where my software crashes.

[@AncientGameplays]

That's most likely because you're having higher performance and higher GPU usage as well

[@Skokan82]

Never though that this video will help me today 😛.... Big THX 👍

[@AncientGameplays]

[@EnxebreRCD]

Do I need to uninstall the chipset driver before installing a newer version? Or is it enough to simply click on update? Thanks as always 😊

[@AncientGameplays]

Advisable, but not needed. You can simply update

[@thekeester9632]

My 2080 Super was mad glitching and flickering all of a sudden, in my animation view port program, Unreal, when youtube videos were playing, when the Windows task bar would pop up and overlap another window or video playing. I went through your process several times testing out multiple back dated drivers all the way back to Dec 2022.. ( and yes I updated my Chipset drivers) each time I updated drivers, it persisted to glitch and flicker. - The only time it did not glitch or flicker was at the stage where I used DDU to remove the drivers. Although choppy mouse movements and limited to a super low screen resolution like 1280X 960 or something, I tried out youtube, my other graphics programs, etc, and it had virtually no glitch. I ended up just getting a 4070Ti and I dont have to deal with that anymore, however, would like to know what you think my results are an indicator of? was there something in my 2080 Super that broke that just refused to comply with the new driver updates of the past year? Why was there no glitch when there was no driver installed? Thanks again for your fantastic video.

[@Marko-ij4vy]

I recently installed last amd drivers througth the AMD adrenalin software. Should I reinstall through DDU? Im noob at this stuff so I used the easiest thing handed to me.

[@denniskarlsson6173]

Prob for the best because the new driver will be installed on top of the old one and with the latest driver you couldn't even do a clean install, the option was grayed out

[@AncientGameplays]

If you have issues do it

[@Jalaluddin.Al.Afghan]

Hi man, i just wanted to asking, in the video you say: - Old Chipset driver + old gpu drivers = ok - new Chipset driver + new gpu drivers = ok - old chipset driver + new gpu drivers = not ideal but if it's the other way around, like new chipset driver + old gpu drivers still ideal/ok ?? i wanna keep the new chipset driver and using old gpu drivers because i keep getting problem with latest gpu drivers

[@KenTek88]

Only one question, if I have already the latest chipset driver, would you uninstall it anyway before getting the new GPU driver and then reinstall it again? Or is ok just to remove the GPU drivers only in the DDU options?

[@AncientGameplays]

If you want to, but it is usually not needed

How is your GPU now ? Still going without drivers?

[@elemental2374]

I recently downgraded from 23.3.1 bc of some game crashes but now on 23.2.2 I got BSOD out of nowhere on the desktop on idle I didn’t even run any program Could it also be bc of drivers ? I now am installing back the 23.3.1 and first I deinstalled the chipset drivers and then the Gpu driver and now am Installing the Gpu driver and after that the chipset drivers It couldn’t be the Psu bc it’s new and functioned perfectly before U have ideas what it could be it crashed on idle and while gaming 2 times but the ones while gaming wasn’t BSOD but restarts out of nowhere could it be the RAM ?

[@AncientGameplays]

Ir can unstable overclocks, most likely is (cpu or ram)

[@elemental2374]

CPU and RAM is running the same undervolt and overclocks for 3 yrs so couldn’t be that could it ? Ram is just XMP enabled to 3200mhz cl16 And cpu is just undervolted with curve optimizer for years now without any problem Could it be something with the drivers ? Before bc the only thing I did was downgrading the GpU drivers to 23.2.2 from 23.3.1 before that no crashes no BSODs and especially no BSOD on idle desktop Is there a way to check if it’s the RAM like a RAM test to see if it crashes ?
