i downloaded my chosen drivers, and DDU. 1. swapped GPU. 2. run DDU. 3.Delete drivers with the wipe and restart option. 4. ran my chosen drivers. 5. all done. didnt turn off wifi and downloaded drivers before i even deleted my old drivers, worked spot on, resolution never changed upon restart. also on DDU, im from the uk and used Netherland option. Fantastic video.

[@mikesunboxing]

awesome glad it helped, and hope everything is now working as it should

[@uglybob7505]

DDU is an unsung hero and has got me out of so many problems when swapping out in the past, even when swapping an AMD card for another AMD card ! I would wager that over the next few weeks and months a lot of people will be upgrading their GPU so I hope this video will prove to be useful to those who need a bit of support. Cheers Mike :)

[@mikesunboxing]

this will be the video we point most discord people to when having issues i think. see you later

[@OlettaLiano]

Before I install a new GPU I always do a fresh install of Windows. Could be one reason I've never had any driver issues.

Hi Mike! I'm going the other way around, swapping from NVIDIA to AMD and I did go through all the steps with DDU (except I went and removed Physx [lazy to check spelling]), so, I go through all of it, pop in my card, connect the power cable, my DVI (monitor has no HDMI) cable, turn the power on, hit the power button, fans spin, LED above the 8pin on GPU is blue but I get no post and not even backlight on the monitor. Now, my setup is a bit sketchy and both the PSU and GPU are second hand. GPU was tested and it worked (allbeit tested with HDMI port, not DVI when I was buying it), PSU works but it's sketchy brand I never heard of that some guy threw in when me and my dad brought him the PC for upgrades. Now, I am tempted to say PSU can't deliver the power and buy a new one from a reputable brand but I would like you or other good people in the comments to help me sort of narrow it down. Did I kill my GPU? Is there a chance that faulty DVI connector could cause such problems? Is the sketchy 600W PSU that promisses 576W over 5x 12V outputs to blame? Also the cable from PSU to GPU is 6 pin on PSU side with 6+2 pin on GPU side.

That would be the perfect place to put a new Ryzen 5950X and 6000 series GPU. For water cooling I think I'd go with an EKWB EK-Quantum Kinetic FLT 360 Pump/Reservoir Combo, a couple 360mm radiators, a dozen or so high static pressure fans.

Very informative, and easy to understan dvideo, but I have 2 questions: 1) you show during the DDU demonstration to avoid to choose "PhysicX" to remove (so it stays in the PC-system and it won¡t be removed), but on minute 16:38 during the nVidia Driver installation program you choose "physicX" to install=> won't it create problems having the PhysicX system installed from the AMD Drivers and now reinstalling it with the nVidia Driver Program?...")...2) Why should I install the HD Audio Drivers? aren't the win10 ones enough?

[@mikesunboxing]

physix is a nvidia program and rarely used these days, i should have left it really, but it is rarely what cause the GPU errors, but good question
