Official Display Driver Uninstaller DDU Download (wagnardsoft.com)

Ver 496.49 Driver Gamma correction off in Settings. Old may be stable but just using the latest.

Both of the above^^^

DDU for a complete cleanup.  NVcleanstall to install the new driver without the bloat.

Thats what i would do, a complete cleanup before i install a NEW driver.

I didn't clean for a very long time so i think would be the best to do so..

Whats with a good driver ??

I only use DDU if I would like to revert to an older driver, and don't forget to set DDU to not search and install a new driver after reboot if you don't want the latest one with all bloatware, and remember to run the program in safe mode, after uninstalling the old driver I use NVcleanstall to install the driver I want with recommended options + the USB-C driver as I have such a socket on my card.

I always use DDU when I change drivers, which I rarely do.

DDU is a bit of a "nuke" solution but it works well, good for a clean slate. I personally always used NVSlimmer to just clean up my packages but I assume it's all the same as the one proposed further up. Plus, I always just go with the latest driver unless there's tangible evidence of it being busted.

Any one that works for you. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
