So I have been having problems with my driver and as you can see by the title I need to know what the best method is. The Main two I have found is this http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-2284749/completely-uninstall-amd-nvidia-gpu-drivers.html or to use this program http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html . So I was wondering which is the easiest and the most safe method of doing this. I am also open for any other ways of uninstalling them. any help is appreciated thx :)
Also I have a AMD card.

I would simply uninstall the hardware from Device Manager and then uninstall any software from Programs and Features. Digging through the registry is perhaps a more complete method, but it seems unnecessary, and the last thing you want to do is accidentally delete an important key.

Interestingly, the first guide doesn't mention anything about removing drivers from the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository folder, but again, it's an unnecessary risk.
