The PROPER Steps to Installing / Upgrading to your NEW Graphics card! DDU Tutorial!

Hey guys! I am BACK with another video. I have seen a lot of questions about the PROPER way to upgrade to your new GPU! Rather than just installing your new GPU, installing the drivers, and hoping for the best; I put together a guide on the steps needed to ensure that your new GPU is running at it's peak performance. We will be discussing removing old drivers with the program Display Driver Uninstall by Wagnardsoft, physically installing your new graphics card, installing your new graphics card drivers, and a few minor adjustments within NVIDIA Control Panel / AMD Radeon software. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns down below!
