    Graphics Card Driver Question
    « on: December 23, 2015, 05:52:43 PM »
    When I built my computer I installed the graphics driver from the CD that came with the card and then udpated to the latest driver version via the program that came with it, would it be smart for me
    to use a DDU utility to remove all traces of the driver and then reinstall the latest version again to ensure that nothing from the old drivers conflicts with the new?

    I'm just worried because I've heard of people having problems with this sort of thing on the AMD forum recently, and would like to avoid running into driver conflicts.

    The card is a R9 290 BTW

     DDU is a useful tool but it doesn't need to be used every time you update the drivers, I generally only use it if I'm changing between cards or having driver-related issues.
