How to Swap GPUs Without Ruining Your PC

[@tamimiaf]

Safe Mode is what I recommend when dealing with DDU

[@akosigusiong482]

How of you in blue screen of death? Via cmd?

[@yusrilramadhan]

​@@akosigusiong482You can boot to safe mode by holding F8 after turning on your PC.

[@Umar_nad]

​@@akosigusiong482I think on your lock screen you hold shift and then click restart then you boot into advanced boot options there you can go to safe mode

[@ezoxide]

I didn't use safe mode while using ddu When i switch from gt 1030 to rx5500 xt

[@KillaMilla0513]

Also turn off windows drivers in ddu

[@ParsaR18]

Bro forgot to say DDU must be running in Safe Mode 💀

[@millyyeasmin7904]

No it doesnt need to be running in safe mode its completely fine in normal mode aswell

[@lieutenantgodzilla]

⁠@@millyyeasmin7904It’s just better to be on the safe side though. I ran it without safe mode to reinstall drivers and my CPU would max out with like 30% GPU usage. I reinstalled again after using DDU in safe mode and it ran like new.

[@gommx]

​@@lieutenantgodzillale

[@detrix9043]

I tried to go into safe mode for DDU and it said it could do that in safe mode 😂

[@gustavingersson]

Yeah never had to run it in safe mode

[@aeroburger]

Run ddu in safe mode and do clean and shut down if you’re swapping gpu brands. Don’t risk Windows update stuff

[@Frankguligan256]

If I install the same gpu just a different AIB model I don’t have to do this right ?

[@aeroburger]

@@Frankguligan256 to be safe maybe still do it?

[@OhSoTiredMan]

@@Frankguligan256 Yes but it is recommended to always use safe mode

[@d4rkin850]

“2 times 💀”, bro was complaining about gpu power cables being hidden now saying to run DDU twice instead of just going to safe mode, tick the boxes, prevent windows updates then clean and restart… bruh

[@Duck_side]

If you think this guy is a professional because he presents himself as such, you're going to be sorely disappointed

[@millyyeasmin7904]

You dont have to go to safe mode

[@d4rkin850]

Thanks for the info Milly, I've never really tried it without booting into safe mode first but I will give it a shot someday if I fell into any issues which I hope not, but if you're correct then no more time wasted into safe mode haha :D@@millyyeasmin7904

[@VoltiumOG]

​@@millyyeasmin7904 You don't but it's highly recommended

[@Sakthi692]

@@millyyeasmin7904you have to go into safe mode or you will encounter issues

[@velja1312]

there's also an option to clean the drivers and shutdown the rig, meaning there's no need to boot in OS and shutdown manually. plus, it only takes one attempt to clean out the drivers, and you're good to go. make sure you unplug your ethernet or turn off your wifi, to prevent windows from downloading drivers.

[@crackedcabbigelol4926]

I literally did this two days ago. Upgraded from an Rtx 1660 Super to a rx 6750 xt. It was much needed because I was playing on 1440p

[@fade2black001]

AMD and Nvidia drivers can be on the system at once and be fine. They don't conflict with each other. So something else must be going on with his system

[@SynthuaVids]

This is correct.

[@thedealer799]

Depends what driver versions. Some do in fact act up with each other.

[@fade2black001]

@@thedealer799 This makes no sense. Only one driver is in use at a time. It's really not possible to have a confliction going on

[@Flappyho]

​@@fade2black001bro my PC wouldn't even boot cause I forgot to delete my old drivers when upgrading from a GTX-1050 to an RX 6600XT

[@zyferisgaming]

True, never had issues

[@PlayerXess]

Overkill is better than having it accidentally miss something.

[@commandercutter8214]

I did this like yesterday or so, thanks for me switching to amd. I used that. It kicked my pc into a nice blue screen, but came back alive without a single problem. Works flawless.

[@PrototypeDMG]

Bruh DDU was life saver bruh I remember a time I want from nvidia to amd Then I switched back to nvidia It's clutch

[@rnegoro1]

You don't need to do this actually. Just put in the new gpu and install new gpu driver. It doesn't matter whether you still have previous gpu driver installed. But there is a perform a clean install option, and it will remove all previous versions of old gpu drivers. And you wont get bsod.

[@arianrashidzz]

I saw this short and ran DDU while switching to an AMD gpu without enabling safe mode. Avoid this mistake so that you don't have nightmares as well

[@MrGaming-bz7ww]

If you have nvidia or amd just look for all files and delete them search also in appdata etc you dont need ddu

[@anisfarhad1506]

Best practice is..... Download the driver for your gpu (dont install yet), disable wifi or ethernet or both so you have no connectivity, then restart windows into safe mode and run DDU, "clean and do not restart" AMD, intel and NVIDIA GPU drivers, and then restart the PC and install the correct driver, after which you can turn internet back on

[@roguestorm2136]

I just used device manager and uninstalled my old drivers.

[@airsofterj]

Hey bro I love your videos and they have helped me a lot with my own pc build Currently I am running a ryzen 7 5700x with a rx 570 (dw I just wanted to cheep out on the graphics card at first And I was thinking of upgrading to a rx 5700 xt what is your (or other commenters) opinions on that? I have a mid b550 pro Wi-Fi mobo and a 750 watt pwr supply Also I am more then willing to get used parts and I am looking to play at 1080 p max settings on Fortnite (I play at preformance now and I wana try and hook my pc up to my 4k tv and try forza but that may not work (I posted this on an older video and brought it here to be more relevant)

[@Gambo-px3lj]

Use the clean and shutdown option instead for a video card swap. Also use safe mode.

[@bilalsadiq1450]

Had to use DDU for the first time on my laptop after i kept getting a 'GPU not detected' error on a PS2 emulator i was using. Repeatedly updating drivers, such as with the game-ready drivers from Nvidia can cause some weird errors, so DDU is a useful thing to try if you think the issue is driver-related.

[@yallknowmina]

We need a video on cleaning up all those nittygritty type of files. i swear my ssd is full and idk how!

[@MrPalmie]

But when you go back into Windows, there is a chance that windows installed generic Gpu drivers. Please unplug your Lan Cable and then install your Driver

[@mileswithau]

The generic GPU drivers shouldn't interfere with anything. It's just there so your GPU displays _anything at all._

[@arashkmahshidfar7780]

Generic drivers are unaccelerated drivers that are needed to give a VGA output (don't quote me on the VGA) when the full driver doesn't exist. It's already installed in every windows installation and doesn't interfere with anything. If those drivers didn't exist, your monitor would just show a black screen as long as the accelerated drivers weren't installed.

[@hrvojemilicevic3309]

True. All you need is DDU

[@shupichii9647]

As others are saying, safe mode, DDU everything, swap GPU, done. This guy is a great example of why people who dunno what they are talking about, shouldnt make guide videos.

[@gabrielreisinger8047]

Yeah that's what happens when you switch GPU Brands though display driver uninstaller is a great solution to this.

[@Natalietrans]

Us over here on Linux NEVER need to touch safe mode unless something is wrong. For NVIDIA we have Noevau to install the real proprietary drivers (though with NVK it might replace it), and for AMD (and intel) YOU DONT NEED TO INSTALL DRIVERS BECAUSE THEY ARE OPEN SOURCE! Windows seems so old compared to Linux

[@ProtoAzula]

I've never had that problem lol, swapped from a 1650 super to a 6600 and had no problem! I must have gotten lucky

[@Cyrillium]

After uninstalling all gpu drivers, I go to device manager and refresh. Uninstall gpu driver and check delete driver box 2x. Then I power off and switch gpu.

[@hff7904]

Make sure to pause windows update before restart

[@coolimpala71]

already did DDU from watching other youtube channel. went to safe mode remove all drivers and then boot normal mode install driver.

[@richardmillhousenixon]

Thats funny, I switched from NVidia to AMD 18 months ago and have had no issues, even without DDU

[@randomone649]

U can delete the old drivers , even amd software gives u an obtion to delete all old drivers when installing the new one HOWEVER be aware , there will be plenty of issues in game and with the softare u will use , no mater if u switched to AMD or Nvidia For example i had an GTX 1080, and bought an Rx 670/ xt , and i was too lazy to indtall windows , i used the app the guy shown in the video Every single time i had problems with the app from amd, it wasan't detecting the games , it wasan't showing the fps in the game but it was showing it when i was just in windows without any programs running, i had some lag, and usualy whenever i started a game i had to wait 2 minutes for the textures to load on the GPU (i had lag and huge frame drops for that time) One month later i installed windows 11 (before i had 10) with a fresh install and all of the problems just disapeared

[@justboycottlife9044]

Why?

[@abhilashs2264]

​@@justboycottlife9044it's not possible to swap GPUs from a laptop, but a GPU can be added. So if you add an additional GPU I think both the drivers should be included and not be bothered.

Can someone help me out? I've switched from Nvidia to AMD, before swapping I have uninstalled the Nvidia drivers with DDU. But whenever I played some games my AMD GPU kept on getting disabled by Windows, and I got a black screen. I don't know how to re-enable the GPU back on because I can't see anything. I've tried resetting the CMOS, and it doesn't work. Even BIOS logo won't appear.

[@lalivirtei]

Damn, where were you couple days ago :C

[@ArmedAmerica]

Hey sorry to bother you. I have been watching your videos on instagram and KZbin. I have a couple questions for you I was hoping you could answer. Also feel free to put this in a video if you want. I currently have a ryzen 7 5700g and a Amd Radeon rx 5500with 4 gb of v ram. I would like to upgrade to a rtx 4060 for my Gpu and I know that it will be bottlenecked. So my question is what cpu could I buy that would bottleneck the least without having to change my motherboard? I currently have a Asus Prime B550m-k. Also I have a 550 watt psu is that enough? And also will my nzxt kraken x63 be able to keep the new cpu cool? Also what kind of fps would be expected on cod?

[@GlacikingTheIceColdKing]

The 5700G is enough to pair with the 4060 so no bottleneck, a 550 psu should also be enough since ada lovelace is very efficient, and the x63 would be way more than enough for your 5700G.

This comment is kinda unrelated but I've recently injured my back and had a bunch of free time resting in bed. Decided to build a PC for the first time(mostly followed your recommendations).

Best cpu ang GPU combination for budget 1440p gaming

Cpu doesn't really matter too much if you're just gaming. i recommend r5 5600x as the cpu because currently it's $150 usd and for 1440p, rx 6700 xt/6800xt/7800xt. For new parts, the 6800xt and 7800xt are around ~500 usd so i would recommend 7800xt if you're buying New and not used gpus. 6700xt is around ~$300 usd for new and it's still a good contender for 1440p though just not as good of course
