Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) – Best Graphics Driver Removal Tool

All graphics cards or video adapters need video drivers to work on Windows Operating Systems. Well in general drivers are needed for every computer hardware device or component whether it is a graphics card, sound card, motherboard, LAN card, or any other component or device. For a gaming PC, it is always recommended to install the latest graphics drivers for your video card because new drivers contain various performance enhancements and features that are required for the latest games.

The recommended way to install new display drivers is to first uninstall the older drivers and then install the latest drivers for the video card. The normal way to uninstall graphics drivers is by using the windows uninstaller from the Add / Remove Programs in the control panel. Sometimes it may happen that your older or new graphics driver gets corrupt and it is not uninstalling. To fix this DDU tool will help you to combat this driver uninstallation problem. Display Driver Uninstaller or DDU is a tool/utility that is designed to uninstall graphics drivers or video drivers that cannot be uninstalled using the normal process. DDU is an effective and one-of-a-kind graphics driver uninstaller tool that is completely free to use and download. In my opinion, DDU is the best AMD and NVIDIA driver removal tool for Windows. DDU will remove all the traces of your older display drivers so that you can install the latest or fresh copy of display drivers for your graphics card.
