Is DDU completly safe to use?

[Spietres]

Hello everyone.

Recently I have been experiecing huge performance drops in few games I was playing daily. I want to do a full uninstall of my GPU drivers. I have some poor stories behind me with the Geforce Experience and drivers updating, so I'm pretty certain the drivers aren't working as they are supposed to.

I found out about the DDU and I am wondering if this program is safe to use? In a way, could it possibly give me black screen of death or no signal? Also would it be appropiate If I would download recent drivers first to my desktop, and then use DDU to uninstall the drivers, so it would be easier to install new ones after the restart?

I would appreciate any answers.

The program is absolutely safe to use. I have used it myself with ZERO issues.

1) Download the latest WHQL driver.

2) Run DDU. Windows will reboot and strip the drivers using Linux, then restart.

3) Do Not Allow Windows to install a driver when it detects that you have no driver on start up.

4) Install the driver using the custom option. Only install the driver (not-optional) and PhysX.
. . Do Not install 3D or Audio unless you need it. Use the clean install option (just in case, your system should be clean after DDU.)

Thanks for the answers guys! Used DDU and installed new drivers. My fps went back to the ones I had before! So it must have worked.

Appreciate ya!
