    Install this program, NVcleanstall to install Nvidia drivers. It cleans out any remnants of old drivers and then installs the new drivers. It's easy to use and works very well, I used it a couple of days ago and it improved the performance of my 3080 card with more fps and removed the odd stutter I was getting.

    I've never used DDU but I have investigated it. NVcleanstall isn't so comprehensive but is lot easier to use and probably more suited to people who are not so computer literate. DDU could possibly cause problems for some people. I've always used the clean install option with the normal Nvidia installer until I used NVcleanstall.

    I trust more DDU, I use only DDU and won't change, I had never one issue with DDU.
