Any hardware enthusiast knows very well the importance of obtaining drivers robust and optimized, especially when it comes to critical components like graphics cards. Unfortunately, the uninstallation process for video drivers leaves much to be desired, and their remnants can cause conflicts with new files or generate instability. The best thing in these cases is to eliminate everything from the root, and for that, nothing better than Display Driver Uninstaller.
The Problem
Honestly, I can't count the times AMD's Catalyst module threw a warning or an error message during its installation. The general opinion is that Nvidia's drivers are superior in this aspect... but not by much. Now, I understand we must be patient with developers. From a certain point of view, drivers for their graphics cards resemble dedicated operating systems more due to their complexity. However, it is the user who must deal with all the subsequent problems. The update and uninstallation procedures are not “clean”, and the last thing we want is a conflict within a game caused by an old file that was never completely deleted.
Display Driver Uninstaller
Fortunately, there are tools like Display Driver Uninstaller, recently updated. The app detects all leftover remnants of a video driver (whether AMD, Intel, or Nvidia), and offers the option to remove them with a single click. Display Driver Uninstaller can work without major issues within a normal Windows session, but it is ideal to run the tool in Safe Mode (or “fail-safe”, as we older folks say), so that none of the files to be deleted are in use. The “clean and shutdown” option is especially convenient when replacing graphics cards.
Among the supported languages is Spanish, and its advanced options definitely deserve a look, as it can purge elements like PhysX, or AMD chipset drivers if the user needs it. Display Driver Uninstaller is free, portable, and does not contain any kind of suspicious modules, although its creator accepts donations through PayPal.
