Uninstalling ATI Drivers Completely

[kgeorge78]

I have a fresh windows install with an ati card - I want to uninstall the drivers and install nvidia cards (2x6800 ultras)

How do I remove the ATI drivers COMPLETELY.

Isn't there a utility to do so.

I can find it on the web site.


Thanks!

You will need drive cleaner.

But when I switched from my 9800 XT to a 6800 Ultra I had some problems where the games would stutter alittle. A clean OS format and a slipsteam install of SP2 fixed all my issues.

Directions:

Download and install the afformentioned utility and the newest Nvidia drivers.

Then run this:

C:\program files\ATI Technologies\Uninstallall\AtiCimUn.exe

It will take a minute (nothing will appear on screen though) then ask you to reboot... Do so and hit F8 during the boot process and go into Safe-mode.

Then run the utility as per the directions for the utility (don't let it "install new hardware')

Then shut down and install the new cards and boot as normal with the new cards in your PC (again don't let it "install new hardware"). Once into windows install the new Nvidia drivers and reboot again.... Should work properly at that point.

(If I missed anything someone please fill it in).
