Yoooo...

In the past I've always used DriverSweeper to get rid of everything driver related. But it wasn't updated since ages as far as I know. When Nvidia added "some" option into their newer drivers themselves I was quite happy. Still, I don't trust it.

So my question is, what tools should be used to properly get rid of remnants and is up2date?

(Yes, my new GFX card arrived 10 minutes ago Laughing )

Apparently, the "clean install" in the new nvidia drivers indeed does it's job Shocked

I too used driversweeper for years until very recently (After BF3 came out) I was told to not use that anymore. The Nvidia clean install is the way to go now
