How to Upgrade a Graphics Card From Nvidia to AMD.

[@TechLabUK]

Really glad this video is helping so many people. Don't forget that this process also works the other way around AMD to Nvidia and also make sure you subscribe to the channel if you found this useful as we have many more guides and how to video coming.

[@Smart-Skippy]

Might be good to mention this... "You MUST disconnect your internet or completely block Windows Update when running DDU until you have re-installed your new drivers." Thanks for the video!

[@TechLabUK]

@@Smart-Skippy Good spot, fortunately we have only ever had issues with this and it was after the video so good spot.

@@TechLabUK Kudos for the gracious reply to my comment. Again, thank you for creating the video!!!

[@getoverit3773]

@@TechLabUK what could I do if my Nvidia card died and I want an amd card?

[@TechLabUK]

@@getoverit3773 Install your new AMD card and go through this process the same but clearing the Nvidia when asked. It will still clear it down.

[@rugby187gaming]

So many people have issues because they don't know to DDU before switching cards (especially when switching between AMD/nVidia). Great video, very helpful

Hi i get no display after installing rx 5600 xt on my pc from gtx 1060 is the gpu the reason why i get no display?

Was about to just factory reset my computer but this saved a lot of time. Now I get to enjoy the massive upgrade of going from a 1050ti to a 6600xt

[@TechLabUK]

Not everyone gets issues when just swapping them straight. Good to know this video is helping people where it isn't this straight forward. Enjoy the upgrade, it sounds like a good one.

[@hotmotorsports3756]

what the heck? I am watching this video for the exact same upgrade 😆

[@CookiezStupidity]

Im doing it right now and my computer screen just goes black, from the windows loading screen. I was about to install the amd drivers... I need help asap...

[@Armendicus]

@@TechLabUK Can't you just do a regular uninstall of the drivers? Worked for me twice as I swapped back and forth.

[@TechLabUK]

@@Armendicus sometimes it’s fine. Sometimes it’s not. DDU just does a complete clear down.

[@TechLabUK]

No problem. Hope the upgrade went well and that your new GPU is amazing :)

Thank you so much. I swapped cards on my own and there was no video signal. Then I followed your guide step by step and my transition was as smooth as butter. Thanks!!!!!!

Thanks for the great video. I've been building and upgrading PCs for about 20 years now, but I still like to watch no-nonsense videos like yours to make sure I didn't forget anything. Replacing a 2070 Super with a 7900XTX this weekend, so this was super helpful to refresh my mind on DDU etc :)

That's an insane upgrade 💪 Well played 😃

thank you for helping me along the journey I was so scared but watching your video made me feel assured the whole way through! you explained everything so well and answered questions that I thought of on your own and saved me the trouble of searching google to figure out. you knew exactly what I would’ve been confused about and answered and showed everything. thank you again even now 2 years later you continue to help people.

[@colinc9958]

Watching this video saved me a ton of work. Among other things, it made me realize my 6700XT i was upgrading too required different power cables than my 1080! Thanks man.

[@TechLabUK]

No problem. Glad it helped. How' the upgrade? Big difference between the 1080 and 6700xt?

[@colinc9958]

@@TechLabUK Yea so far its a good step up. Its my first AMD card and I am liking the Adrenaline software as well. I think i need to do some tweaking to get the most of it but I am happy.

[@bryannelson-n7f]

thanks for the vid. been on nvidia since my 1060 3gb, currently on 3070 and just got a deal on an asrock 6800xt. didnt want to do a complete PC reset and this way should work great. i'm not into raytracing and the 16gb of vram should keep me gaming for a while. side note: liked checking the other comments and noticed most recent gamers switching from nvidia to amd cards. not sure if it was due to cost/value or performance, but all seem happy following your tutorial. great job.

[@ericweber8235]

Great video, very easy to understand and follow. There is an easier way to get into safe mode though. If you hold the Shift key while clicking the reset button, the computer will take you straight to the Troubleshoot step of your guide. Not a huge difference but it does save 4-5 clicks.

[@truhunk1]

What reset button ?

[@drewevans5440]

I went from nvidia to amd today actually. I picked up a used 6800 for cheap and did this driver cleaner. Worker like a charm. Now I have amd drivers and am very happy. I’ll fine tune it to get maximum performance

[@fizzyheart2486]

Thank you man great video. Would’ve been completely lost going from a 1650 super to rx7600 today. Appreciate the time and effort you put into this

[@Caeleinn]

I built my computer a couple of years ago, and like your son, just couldn't afford a new gpu at the time. I've been running a GTX 1060 for years without too many problems, but it's finally showing its age. I cracked and bought a new card a couple of weeks ago, deciding to switch to a MSI AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (since I run an AMD cpu on a MSI board already). Obviously, I have no problems messing with hardware, but I was unsure about the software side, as I'm switching brands. Very glad I found this video, and I've finally got the free time to do the install and set up. Thank you!

[@TechLabUK]

No problem and what a monster of an upgrade you have there!

[@Caeleinn]

@@TechLabUK Thank you! I'm excited to see all the frames I've been missing! 😄 The upgrade is now done, and I followed your directions. I did run into one problem; when trying to boot into safe mode to use DDU, the screen would stay black, and would never give me the option to choose safe mode. After doing some searching, I found a post by another person that had this problem. Turns out, safe mode on Windows 10 doesn't like HDMI connections. Luckily, I still had my old monitor that has a DVI connection. Disconnected my good monitor, connected the old one, and was able to boot into safe mode to uninstall my old nVidia drivers. Everything else went smoothly, even though I had to open the other side of my computer to attach the dual 8pin cable to my PSU (I have a semi-modular 750w). Gave me a chance to do a dust up, so bonus, clean computer.

[@TechLabUK]

@@Caeleinn awesome upgrade and bonus cleaning. Win win. Hope you enjoy all those new frames!

[@RizzlerJones]

Yo thank you for this! I'll be soon changing my gpu from gt 730 to an rx 550 and luckily i checked some videos til i stumbled on yours and found out i might need to do more than just unplug and plug. You're the best!

This helped a lot. Only thing i would add is that you can right click the background and then display settings to change the resolution while you are downloading the new AMD driver.

Thank you so much, I was thinking about returning my 6600 XT which I only got around last week, Playing games like PUBG would be completely unplayable from the constant 5-10 second freezes and then stutters on top of that, And now after doing this I could play with 0 freezes but a little stutter here and there from loading assets in the game.
