Hello. I currently use an amd gpu. I’ve been offered an rtx 3060 at a really low price and I have the opportunity to test it for a few days, also.
I will use amd’s cleanup utility for my card before installing the nvidia driver. If I don’t keep the card, I will have to remove it (not installing GeForce experience, just the driver).
Now I don’t wat to use ddu, so what will be the best way? Obviously I can uninstall it manually, but what if I make a restore point before using amd’s utility? Will reverting to it undo all the changes safely?
Thanks for reading.
Edit: using windows 11
Restore Points in Windows allow you to create a quasi “point in time” snapshot of the computer’s current state. It’s not for files. Rather, it’s for any time you install a new program, driver, Windows update, etc.
Using System Restore to create a Restore Point before you use AMD’s utility will achieve what you need.
I’d argue that Display Driver Uninstaller is potentially faster than using System Restore. But I haven’t used System Restore since the Windows 7 days and it was really slow back then (also was using HDDs, too). System Restore is probably just as effective now.

Great! Thanks for the confirmation.
