great walkthrough...I have never changed out a GPU before. Upgrading my son's GTX1660 to an AMD 6800xt for Christmas today. Very excited to get the ball rolling. This video was perfect except for the physical "how to remove and install a new GPU" type of info. Regardless, Thanks and I will post an update once (hopefully) successful!

[@Browningmotorsports]

Thank you sir!! You advice was spot on. As a non computer guy my only hangup was not realizing the motherboard had a clip on the back side holding the card in the slot. It was an adventure but now upgraded to a 8GB AMD Raedon Pro WX 5100 from a AMD Radeon R7 450 w/2GB. Should buy my Windows 10 PC some time.

Robey why did you make it so complicated to enter safe mode for the viewer? All you need to do is press Start -> Type System Configuration -> Boot tab -> click safe mode. restart and you're in safe mode. To return back to default windows -> repeat process and uncheck safe mode

[@TheMeanArena]

This entire process is complicated. Don't have to do any of it.

[@Jepphhh]

@@TheMeanArenaso I can just plug in my new gpu and download the latest driver for it on invidia app?

​@Jepphhh you could but you might encounter issues later, so it's much better to uninstall previous drivers.

@@ranger6609 so could I install new drivers with new card in then delete the old ones or I should follow the video

[@elbagofcarp]

If sticking with same brand all i ever did was uninstall the drivers and installed card and reinstalled drivers. If switching brands then I ddu. Plus amd has it own cleaner utility.

[@RobeytechLive]

We have had issues with same brand and different cards and even upgrading. We use a lot of cards. I would do this every time just to ensure you don’t have issues. We have had it happen live on stream with both AMD and Nvidia.

[@stp1510]

This video was awesome better than watching he 25 min alternative. Definitely dropping a sub.

Thank you! My refresh rate got locked to a 75hz max after I updated the Nvidia drivers and it gave me frustrating screen tearing. You saved the day so I can launch Path of Exile 2 properly.

This video is definitely going to come in handy for me. I've had an RTX 2060 since 2020 and have been looking to upgrade this entire year. I'm planning on upgrading to the Intel B580 since I heard it performs similar, if not, better than the RTX 4060 which, for someone like me, would be a massive improvement.

[@user-mc9cv9zw3x]

You can look up a calculator for pc upgrades and just input what specs your pc has then what your upgrading and it should give you the information your looking for.

[@vexun11]

After running DDU and restarting back into windows non safe mode, doesn't windows update end up taking over and installing drivers itself? I am trying to fix some latency issues in windows and DDU is recommended to wipe things clear.

You didn't explain the important parts exactly. How do I get out of save mode? Is it necessary to go into save mode?

[@Toutvids]

No need unless you are changing brands. The drivers are universal. I went from an AMD 6800 series to a 7900 series and never changed a thing. Works fine.

[@jamesbp]

I thought so too. I went from a 3080 to 4080 which has the same driver, but couldn't get a display image at all until I did this. Such a pain.

[@Toutvids]

@@jamesbp oh I guess Nvidia has some differences in their drivers then. I ran the AMD drivers for weeks without issue before updating to the newest driver.

[@RobeytechLive]

We have had issues with both AMD and Nvidia even same cards but different manufacturers from the same families. This is just good practice to ensure you don’t have problems

[@Toutvids]

@@RobeytechLive that is weird. I had no issue going from AMD MSI 5700 to AMD Gigabyte 6700XT card, then a reference 6800XT and then to a Powercolor 7900xtx. I simply take one card out and put the other in.

[@Bastelopa_wie_mein_Channelname]

I've only read it now. It's nice that the graphics card replacement works so well. I only swapped my RX 6600XT for a 6800 and the card worked but I wasn't really satisfied. AMD and Nvidia must also have thought something of by offering an individual version of the new drivers for each graphics card model. It is not so universal that one driver can get the best out of all card classes. That's why new driver versions by AMD and Nvidia are available for download, sorted by graphics card. With AMD it is also important that user install the latest chipset drivers for there motherboard beforehand. Then DDU, completely remove the outdated driver version, maybe also enable that no driver updates are installed by MS later during driver installation. In my eye,s there was a big difference in quality compared to just swapping cards.

[@svenyproud]

whats the recommended steps if Im installing an entirely new system of win 10? Do I have do DDU then? Im exchanging graphic cards, boot up PC and make a fresh windows install. DDU still required before?

If you are reinstalling windows completely, no. If you are upgrading and not wiping your install, probably yes.
