Hogwarts Legacy is actually somewhat of an okay experience now, I have a 4090, 5900X and 32gb Ram and the game was an absolute stutterfest, but it's actually okay now. I usually debloat my driver, but I disabled a few extra things this time and I'm not bothering with GeForce Experience and Shadowplay anymore, I'd rather my games run smooth than have the ability to record videos which I only do maybe once every few months if I see a funny glitch.

Fair warning for those like me with custom color settings and Control Panel Settings. Doing a "Clean Installation" will wipe your presets and you'll need to redo all of them. Obviously, "clean" implies this in hindsight, but on the off chance this ends up doing nothing to improve your FPS and stability, you'll have an incredibly annoying headache to deal with that you didn't prior to this guide.

Thank you for providing these excellent how-to videos. You thoroughly cover the options and explain the 'why' as appropriate. Anyone asking about DIY Windows and driver settings guides I refer to your channel.
So recently started Remnant 2 having a blast, I got a Rtx 3060 and a Ryzen 5 3600. I would get some good 80FPS somtimes, but then I noticed that in some densely populated areas my FPS dropped even as low as 31FPS sometimes. On some maps it would hover around 55 most of the time, but especially in fights it would drop, making the whole playtime with my friend rather unpleasent. I tried some guides for ingame settings and Nvidia Panel settings for Remnant 2, but no big changes. Then I decided might give the DDU Uninstaller and new drivers a go, after hearing about it in Panjnos video. Hasnt been that long, about 3 months since the last driver update I did so didnt expect much. Then I stubbled on more videos of Panjno and thought, lets give this one a try, disable the Gamebar, Enable Low latency Ultra (even if many said it was bad, as well as V-sync), check if all G-Sync Settings were still intact for my Monitor. The only thing I didnt do was use the Nvidia Inspector and change the Rebar settings, because it was getting late. So restarted the PC and went ingame, Game stuttering like crazy, loading screen taking almost 2 minutes to change, I land on my map and got 5 Fps, I think to myself...oh well I did the wIndows Restore Point backup, so either way I will be ok. But before I could even finish that thought, my FPS spikes at once landing at...115 FPS?! I mean sure that is while being idle, but before that, at that exact spot my FPS was at 55! So I give it a shot, Game feels incredibly smooth, the colors and textures look better than before, FPS has its up and downs highest at 115 and at the very lowest at 67FPS. So all in all I now got a solid FPS boost of about 50FPS while the game feels incredibly smooth, not a single stutter in sight, no input lag. Thank you!

While I love using DDU when I feel the driver being jittery.. when it comes to installing latest Nvidia driver I tend to manually download the driver from Nvidia's website and choosing the clean install option (i assume it removes whatever windows installs and uses the nvidia driver), leaving everything as it is, no safe modes or disconnecting internet. I never had an issue. This driver debloat thing seems like a waste of time to worry about. Will not affect the game experience at all, especially when you already have a high end pc.

A big well done to AMD in that department
The standard clean install is fine most of the time. No need to DDU every driver update. Per the debloat, it's not a one size fits all solution (if it could even be called that) as most PC tweakings are. Some people swear by it, others say it's just placebo. Either way, I'd suggest to test it as it is safe enough not to completely screw your PC under normal circumstances. It's easily reversible as well.

I just upgraded to a new PC from a laptop, this is my first time having a full desktop gaming pc, as well as my first time being able to have a 40 series, I found your videos while doing research in trying to max performance, and ill be trying these methods asap!
I followed the video and during the process I did not encounter any problems. However, I did not notice any game improvements either though gpu usage may have been very slightly improved. But it's either negligible or at least ever so slight.
'Disable Ansel' is in the Installation Tweaks also. It's used for taking screenshot and clips ect. I found this helped too. Only disable if you dont mind not being able to screenshot ect
You can still take screenshots Ansel is just to enchance the experience especially for content creators and improve the already existing screenshot "feature".
Really effective and i notice a small decrease of temperature in my gpu and some stable gaming on my garbage laptop.but i did not include the optimus option in my custom driver. I think that's why I have this difference
When I use this program, Nvcleanstall I can't watch Amazon Prime Video in the best resolution. It says "your video will play in standard definition because your hardware HDMI cables and display must all meet content protection"
This is old but it's because you ticked the disable HDCP option in the tweaks. It's needed for content protection for some content providers like netflix or when watching bluray.
After starting in safe mod, when i try to open "display driver uninstaller" it tells me that the system cannot access to this folder, what should I do?
Feels like I've been in a never ending battle to combat against performance issues and stuttering ever since I first upgraded my graphics driver using GeForce experience. For me, the battle is still ongoing, but this is yet another helpful tip that has improved my performance somewhat, but still not quite where I need it to be.
No, it's pretty unnecessary actually. It's been shown time and time again in tests that using Geforce Experience to download new drivers does NOT create any sort of issues. Even in the long run. Using DDU to manually uninstall drivers and then manually installing new drivers is completely unnecessary nowadays with modern computers and drivers. You really do NOT need to go through this entire process.
a quicker way to restart in safe mode (without having to restart twice), Start, msconfig, and Boot. Select Safe Mode there, and it will ask you if you want to restart right away. You need to remember to go back into that to turn it back to regular boot once you're back in Safe Mode to run DDU.
One of the best things you can do is to unpark your cores. Don't push gfx settings too high if you're on a low to mid tier set up but instead rely on consistency. OC your CPU if you can too but unpark your cores!
@@sigmamale4147 You'll want to look a bit further into what windows actually does in it's varying states of demand & CPU cycles, especially gaming. Because you're actually quite wrong.
I just have to comment that i tried setting the playback speed to .5 to follow along better.....and it sounded just like you were drunk straight outta an irish pub XD
Loved using NVCleanInstall when I had my 2070, however now I have switched to the 7900XTX I am unsure how to debloat the drivers. Is there an equivalent to NVCleanInstall for AMD?
@@TheJustifier17 Unless you start ticking boxes randomly there is literally next to 0 risk involved with NVCI, and if it does "go wrong" you just re-install a new driver :)
Just a heads up for anyone running W11 with smart app control on. (Smart app requires an internet connection to verify installation from Nvidia. There is no internet in Safe mode and for whatever reason Safe mode with networking F5 doesn't not want to work, spent hours looking for a workaround trouble shooting . So you will not be able to NVC debloat install from safe mode the (2ND step) so before using the DDU in safe mode pause windows updates and then run the final install after the reboot in normal mode since windows won't look for drivers being temporarily disabled. *Note this worked on my notebook that also has an Intel integrated GPU
If anyone has the "File cannot be accessed by system" error in safe boot, move both items (the new driver & ddu) to a folder or disk that OneDrive isn't on (by exiting safe boot and doing so). Re-enter safe boot and continue on
I don’t know if it’s a placebo in which it might be, but I could tell the differences almost immediately after restarting after the final step. Huge thanks, had never done a debloat once and got my 2070super right when the 30 series first came out, so this was long overdue.
@Panjno Nvcleanstall updated today and it added an option to disable Ansel which is a screenshot tool so it's another useless thing you can disable in a future video.
Hey Panjno, in the intel undervolt video, you mentioned that you were going to come up with a video for the ones who have locked bios/cannot undervolt through intel xtu. So can you try to do that next?
I always thought that a clean install meant uninstalling the old driver. I've noticed just recently that when I install my Nvidia driver's through GeForce Experience that the first thing it does is uninstall the old driver. So that's been good for me. I've done all of the settings videos and I never really see any exceptional increase. As far as debloting. I haven't tried this.
Everybody is different in understanding things and has different levels of energy , fluency etc. so yeah it may be fast for some people i feel the voice is a tiny bit fast compared to any other youtuber of ny type
nah hes a bit fast, for people that don't often play with this stuff. its a little hard to keep up, you just gotta look at it from a third person perspective and you will understand.@@gry6664
Hey, Panjno! This video is really interesting. I just followed every step you said and runs well on my device. I have a question, should i do the same thing as you said in this video if there's an update for the driver or should i do a normal installation? Thank you 😄😄😄
@@KwisatzHaderach77will these steps still apply for a new driver update? Do you need to uninstall the previous de bloated one first then follow these steps for the updated driver?
@@christopherpalmiero6311 I've had good luck without having to uninstall the debloated one but just following the reinstall part with the new driver version, but if I just let the driver update itself automatically then it puts a lot of stuff back.
@@KwisatzHaderach77 Can I still download Geoforce experience to use its video clipping capability but not use it to download the latest drivers so I can do it this way? Thanks for your help
As a user of nvidia and a HATER of the mad Amounts of bloat in their software. I spent way too much money upgrading ram ( a lot) way too much time tuning my ram timing (WAY too much time) upgrading my CPU and just to negate the hit of that bloat. Had I seen this I may have saved myself a ton. I game competitively and that reduced latency makes all the fkn difference. THIS IS THE BEST CONTENT ON RUclips.
Actually, I've been reading more and more about how using DDU is completely unnecessary nowadays. You can just use Geforce Experience to auto-download new drivers and there is ZERO issues as a result. Doing this entire DDU and manual driver install process is a waste of time.
No idea what you're reading but nvidia driver checkbox for perform clean installation doesn't actual uninstall everything. Also it doesn't touch intel or amd drivers. You need to use things like DDU and NVCleanInstall. I'll also add, I had experienced some blue screen crashes but after using DDU it disappeared completely.
@@dubbleplusgood So many people completely misunderstand what "clean install" does. All it does is reset all Nvidia Control Panel settings to their default values (if you made adjustments to the global settings or individual game settings). That's all it does.
DDU already has a setting to reboot into Safe Mode before doing anything, so I'm not sure why booting in safe mode manually or disconnecting the internet is even a recommendation.
Safe mode disables background processes that may interfear with the uninstall, for instance you can't delete a file if a process is using it. Windows will ping the internet to install the GPU driver automatically, but that is not the one you want.
@@TiberiusMoon I know what safe mode is for, and how it works, but thanks. As I previously said, I don't know why he was recommending to *manually* do any of this, when DDU actually prompts you to reboot in safe mode already. Meaning, it's pretty much automated when using that program to install drivers anyway. It also has a feature to disable Windows from automatically installing drivers. So he's suggesting you use DDU, but then suggesting you also do things DDU already does for you. It's redundant and unnecessary.
It's not redundant because for some people windows tries to reinstall its own drivers even with that setting enabled. I've seen it happen in another RUclipsrs video and it happened to me in the past year.
For anyone who is not sure if this is good or necessary.. I have a ok PC, 13700kf, rtx 3070, 32gb ddr4-4000 cl16. I had a micro stutter in the last of us 1 and gap between avr fps and 0.1% fps was really big.. and you could feel it.. it was annoying.. and this stupid thing solved my problem.. so yeah.. worked for me.. thanks
Hi there, very big thank you. I own a i7 12700 kf and a 3080ti. Because reasons i use a 4k samsung Tv wasnt cheap quite good ms. To play Hunt Showdown liquid i used a 2500x???? window mode at around 140 fps. 4k goes but 50 to 60 fps and "feels" kinda sad. I like to do some clips for fun use not content creating and i am happy i can play now full screen 4k at 95 to 110 fps. And the feeling is fine total liquid. That was awesome and i cant belive its true having such an fps increase only debloating the latest driver. Even the mic is loud again just because i kicked experience out of it. gonna try odb soon. So man it works and thanks and i even did not reset the Nvidia Control Panel recommened setting after its new install. Win11 installed NCP unasked and automaticly by the way. You are slapping the driver developers right in the face^^ Of course i subscibed.
How can i remove the writing in the bottom left section of my screen? The one where it tells me what dlss im running? Its ruining immersion 😂 5:59 into the video you are talking about it.
I want to do this but I also want to use shadowplay...I'm not implying that I want to use shadowplay specifically, I just want to be able to record gameplay like instant replay so if something good happens in game, I can save it. any recommendations?
Do not do this if your computer system is uncommon, like Lenovo Legion i7 (Lenovo Vantage). It first made the background animated wallpaper to play in slow motion then sudden speed up to keep up. Then after fn + q changing laptop performance the display is no longer working Edit: you can fix it if you use another monitor with HDMI cable and head to windows update for extension. If you can't open the DDU and GPU driver folder during safe mode make sure that these folders are outside of your OneDrive folders
I have done the same steps as before and even in your old nvcleanstall videos, but now i ran into problem, i cant install the debloated driver, when the prompt that says windows cant verify the publisher( the red colored prompt when installing), then after clicking install anyway the installation just stops, please help, thanks!
few questions - should i use DDU to remove AMD I-GPU drivers (7800x3d) - should i disable said I-GPU in bios as i have a D-GPU Ive already made the debloated drivers and waiting on advice for these questions
Dang I spent all the time following your other video first and this un-did all the settings so I gotta re-do it all sadge.. but thank you for the content

Do i just download the full regular driver at this point?

I did everything you said and now my drivers aren't working, every game I try opening says theres an issue with the drivers. I tried installing fresh drivers like you suggested in the video and the error still persists... please help because I'm unable to play anything... :(
@@arnavlalsare9741 did you make a system restore?
I just upgraded to a new PC from a laptop, this is my first time having a full desktop gaming pc, as well as my first time being able to have a 40 series, I found your videos while doing research in trying to max performance, and ill be trying these methods asap!
I followed the video and during the process I did not encounter any problems. However, I did not notice any game improvements either though gpu usage may have been very slightly improved. But it's either negligible or at least ever so slight.
What's your specs and what games are you playing?
Same
if you did not notice any improvements there obviously wasn't any bloat on your pc to begin with
@@denniskarlsson6173 This is for Debloating the NVIDIA Driver not PC.
The improve in latency is a thing
Always come back to this when I forget how to debloat my Nvidia driver. I update like every 6 months. Thank you Panjno
'Disable Ansel' is in the Installation Tweaks also. It's used for taking screenshot and clips ect. I found this helped too. Only disable if you dont mind not being able to screenshot ect
You can still take screenshots Ansel is just to enchance the experience especially for content creators and improve the already existing screenshot "feature".
@@alexwithanx yeah I know that man some people use nvidia's for screenshots ect
I just tried the latet NV driver with and without those tweaks and it really makes a huge difference! Thanks!
Really effective and i notice a small decrease of temperature in my gpu and some stable gaming on my garbage laptop.but i did not include the optimus option in my custom driver. I think that's why I have this difference
When I use this program, Nvcleanstall I can't watch Amazon Prime Video in the best resolution. It says "your video will play in standard definition because your hardware HDMI cables and display must all meet content protection"
This is old but it's because you ticked the disable HDCP option in the tweaks. It's needed for content protection for some content providers like netflix or when watching bluray.
After starting in safe mod, when i try to open "display driver uninstaller" it tells me that the system cannot access to this folder, what should I do?
Got the same error
Doing well for urself😊channel is booming so i give this a shot!!!
very easy to follow, clear instructions. fantastic tutorial

Feels like I've been in a never ending battle to combat against performance issues and stuttering ever since I first upgraded my graphics driver using GeForce experience. For me, the battle is still ongoing, but this is yet another helpful tip that has improved my performance somewhat, but still not quite where I need it to be.
Is this something we should do every time there is a driver update?
Debloat the driver? yes, but you do not need to do the DDU unless you get performance issues.
Yes it is pain in the ass. Not worth it
No, it's pretty unnecessary actually. It's been shown time and time again in tests that using Geforce Experience to download new drivers does NOT create any sort of issues. Even in the long run. Using DDU to manually uninstall drivers and then manually installing new drivers is completely unnecessary nowadays with modern computers and drivers. You really do NOT need to go through this entire process.
@@DeadPixel1105 omg that what i am saying
@@DeadPixel1105 crazy part is I did all the steps just now and didn't see any performance gain whatsoever in the games I play, it was just how it was.
a quicker way to restart in safe mode (without having to restart twice), Start, msconfig, and Boot. Select Safe Mode there, and it will ask you if you want to restart right away.
You need to remember to go back into that to turn it back to regular boot once you're back in Safe Mode to run DDU.
One of the best things you can do is to unpark your cores. Don't push gfx settings too high if you're on a low to mid tier set up but instead rely on consistency. OC your CPU if you can too but unpark your cores!
How do i unpark on laptop, i always see "parked" on my i7 13700hx on my legion laptop
whats core parking and how can I use this function?
Unparking all cores doesnt do anything. The system does that on its own. Youll just increase power consumption
@@sigmamale4147 You'll want to look a bit further into what windows actually does in it's varying states of demand & CPU cycles, especially gaming. Because you're actually quite wrong.
@@j3m638 show me a game benchmark with all cores parked and unparked
I just have to comment that i tried setting the playback speed to .5 to follow along better.....and it sounded just like you were drunk straight outta an irish pub XD
Loved using NVCleanInstall when I had my 2070, however now I have switched to the 7900XTX I am unsure how to debloat the drivers. Is there an equivalent to NVCleanInstall for AMD?
@@TheJustifier17 there isnt any risk involed lol
@@TheJustifier17 Unless you start ticking boxes randomly there is literally next to 0 risk involved with NVCI, and if it does "go wrong" you just re-install a new driver :)
The minimal install option on AMD will achieve a similar effect as Nvcleanstall will do for Nvidia
@@3ildcard no not just updating… deploating the driver remooving the functions that the gpu functions on
AMDcleanup utility
Just a heads up for anyone running W11 with smart app control on. (Smart app requires an internet connection to verify installation from Nvidia. There is no internet in Safe mode and for whatever reason Safe mode with networking F5 doesn't not want to work, spent hours looking for a workaround trouble shooting . So you will not be able to NVC debloat install from safe mode the (2ND step) so before using the DDU in safe mode pause windows updates and then run the final install after the reboot in normal mode since windows won't look for drivers being temporarily disabled. *Note this worked on my notebook that also has an Intel integrated GPU
If anyone has the "File cannot be accessed by system" error in safe boot, move both items (the new driver & ddu) to a folder or disk that OneDrive isn't on (by exiting safe boot and doing so). Re-enter safe boot and continue on
Can you help me I have that message
I don’t know if it’s a placebo in which it might be, but I could tell the differences almost immediately after restarting after the final step. Huge thanks, had never done a debloat once and got my 2070super right when the 30 series first came out, so this was long overdue.
@Panjno Nvcleanstall updated today and it added an option to disable Ansel which is a screenshot tool so it's another useless thing you can disable in a future video.
Thanks for answering my question with a quick ctrl+f, you rock!
For the new users debloating their drivers. Yes, select Ansel as it is just like MPO one to be disabled.
Hey Panjno, in the intel undervolt video, you mentioned that you were going to come up with a video for the ones who have locked bios/cannot undervolt through intel xtu. So can you try to do that next?
🎉 yes!
Yes please
Thanks for updating your old debloat driver video!
Using DDU is totally optional and even the tool's creator says it's only intended to be used if there are issues.
I always thought that a clean install meant uninstalling the old driver. I've noticed just recently that when I install my Nvidia driver's through GeForce Experience that the first thing it does is uninstall the old driver. So that's been good for me. I've done all of the settings videos and I never really see any exceptional increase. As far as debloting. I haven't tried this.
This was the best thing done to my pc since I bought it. Thank you so much.
Must this be done every time there is a new driver that comes out?
The Game filter is a life saver. And recording/ streaming is awesome with experience
once in safe mode i can’t access the ddu optimisation folder
Move the folder to another drive. That folder might be part of your OneDrive which isn’t accessible in safe mode
Just thank you. Subscribed
how i am gonna update the nvidia driver if i don't have the geforce experience app?
The old-school way. From the website, duh...
Great information. The only question I most always have with RUclipsrs is why to do have to talk too fast?
Use the playback speed to alter it to your liking.
Do I have to do this again for when a new game ready driver drops for a new game?
I hope not.
Yes
Only the debloating stage
This helped a lot with my FPS increase, went from 131 FPS to 175-180FPS in COD MW 3. New Subscriber.

Hey, Panjno! This video is really interesting. I just followed every step you said and runs well on my device. I have a question, should i do the same thing as you said in this video if there's an update for the driver or should i do a normal installation? Thank you 😄😄😄
x3
You have to do it every time you want to update or the NVidia driver update (which is really just a reinstall) will put the bloat back.
@@KwisatzHaderach77will these steps still apply for a new driver update? Do you need to uninstall the previous de bloated one first then follow these steps for the updated driver?
@@christopherpalmiero6311 I've had good luck without having to uninstall the debloated one but just following the reinstall part with the new driver version, but if I just let the driver update itself automatically then it puts a lot of stuff back.
@@KwisatzHaderach77 Can I still download Geoforce experience to use its video clipping capability but not use it to download the latest drivers so I can do it this way? Thanks for your help
quick question, how are we supposed to know that there are drivers updates if we dont have geforce experience?
Was wondering that too,
As a user of nvidia and a HATER of the mad
Amounts of bloat in their software. I spent way too much money upgrading ram ( a lot) way too much time tuning my ram timing (WAY too much time) upgrading my CPU and just to negate the hit of that bloat. Had I seen this I may have saved myself a ton. I game competitively and that reduced latency makes all the fkn difference. THIS IS THE BEST CONTENT ON RUclips.
😂
i just luv u dude year after year u deliver istg i have been for a long while and u never disappoint
Actually, I've been reading more and more about how using DDU is completely unnecessary nowadays. You can just use Geforce Experience to auto-download new drivers and there is ZERO issues as a result. Doing this entire DDU and manual driver install process is a waste of time.
No idea what you're reading but nvidia driver checkbox for perform clean installation doesn't actual uninstall everything. Also it doesn't touch intel or amd drivers. You need to use things like DDU and NVCleanInstall.
I'll also add, I had experienced some blue screen crashes but after using DDU it disappeared completely.
this guys doesn't no what he's talking about leave him
be
@@dubbleplusgood So many people completely misunderstand what "clean install" does. All it does is reset all Nvidia Control Panel settings to their default values (if you made adjustments to the global settings or individual game settings). That's all it does.
Thanks for the detailed guide in this video. Are we supposed to repeat these steps whenever a new Nvidia driver releases?
This is me, expecting if my GTX 750 Ti would have a significant difference in terms of performance if I try those debloating. T∆T
if there is a difference tell me, i have the same gpu thnx.
Lmao nope. You need an upgrade, no driver can give you 11fps over 10 fps.
@@TimberWulfIsHere A 10% increase is nothing to sneeze at. ;)
@@dubbleplusgood it does when your current fps is poultry.
DDU already has a setting to reboot into Safe Mode before doing anything, so I'm not sure why booting in safe mode manually or disconnecting the internet is even a recommendation.
Safe mode disables background processes that may interfear with the uninstall, for instance you can't delete a file if a process is using it.
Windows will ping the internet to install the GPU driver automatically, but that is not the one you want.
@@TiberiusMoon I know what safe mode is for, and how it works, but thanks.
As I previously said, I don't know why he was recommending to *manually* do any of this, when DDU actually prompts you to reboot in safe mode already. Meaning, it's pretty much automated when using that program to install drivers anyway.
It also has a feature to disable Windows from automatically installing drivers. So he's suggesting you use DDU, but then suggesting you also do things DDU already does for you. It's redundant and unnecessary.
It's not redundant because for some people windows tries to reinstall its own drivers even with that setting enabled. I've seen it happen in another RUclipsrs video and it happened to me in the past year.
Love from india❤
thank you
You can get the debloated drivers from chocolatey, way easier than doing it yourself.
Can the DLSS Indicator be toggled off in game? If not, can this enable setting be changed without repeating the full process? Thanks
Google “disabling DLSS indicator techpowerup” . It shows you the registry setting to change

Hi there, very big thank you.
I own a i7 12700 kf and a 3080ti.
Because reasons i use a 4k samsung Tv wasnt cheap quite good ms.
To play Hunt Showdown liquid i used a 2500x???? window mode at around 140 fps.
4k goes but 50 to 60 fps and "feels" kinda sad.
I like to do some clips for fun use not content creating and i am happy i can play now full screen 4k at 95 to 110 fps.
And the feeling is fine total liquid.
That was awesome and i cant belive its true having such an fps increase only debloating the latest driver.
Even the mic is loud again just because i kicked experience out of it.
gonna try odb soon.
So man it works and thanks and i even did not reset the Nvidia Control Panel recommened setting after its new install.
Win11 installed NCP unasked and automaticly by the way.
You are slapping the driver developers right in the face^^
Of course i subscibed.
Zero difference before and after… waste of time
keep up you make the best videos ❤ help me alot
How can i remove the writing in the bottom left section of my screen? The one where it tells me what dlss im running? Its ruining immersion 😂 5:59 into the video you are talking about it.
I want to do this but I also want to use shadowplay...I'm not implying that I want to use shadowplay specifically, I just want to be able to record gameplay like instant replay so if something good happens in game, I can save it. any recommendations?
UPDATE: I did it now.
Do not do this if your computer system is uncommon, like Lenovo Legion i7 (Lenovo Vantage). It first made the background animated wallpaper to play in slow motion then sudden speed up to keep up. Then after fn + q changing laptop performance the display is no longer working
Edit: you can fix it if you use another monitor with HDMI cable and head to windows update for extension. If you can't open the DDU and GPU driver folder during safe mode make sure that these folders are outside of your OneDrive folders
Thank you so much bro. It really improved the performance of my gpu
Wery good video.u keep on saving me panjo❤
YOU ARE BEAST! SUBSCRIBED
My second monitor is no longer detected. What part of the options during the de bloat handles this action?

few questions
- should i use DDU to remove AMD I-GPU drivers (7800x3d)
- should i disable said I-GPU in bios as i have a D-GPU
Ive already made the debloated drivers and waiting on advice for these questions
Dang I spent all the time following your other video first and this un-did all the settings so I gotta re-do it all sadge.. but thank you for the content
Thank you so much for this info, works great!!
I followed a the video on uninstalling with DDU and using NVCleaninstaller to de bloat the driver. Now when i try to launch apex, it automatically closes window upon the main menu loading screen. I tried with CS2 as well, also the same problem. I then went back to a restore point i had made right before changing everything and still getting crashes. Do i just download the full regular driver at this point?
It really helped, well put together good explanation. Thanks
