How to Update AMD Drivers on Windows 11 [3 Ways]

Graphics are displayed on your Windows 11 computer with the use of a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) or a graphics card. Thus, today we will see how to download an AMD graphics driver on Windows 11.

The built-in Task Manager software is the easiest and most accurate way to determine which graphics card is being used by your computer, as well as how much of its power is utilized at the moment.

Follow along as we will first see what happens if you delete the AMD software from your PC, and then jump into the list of methods in which you can download the graphics driver on your Windows 11 device.

What happens if I delete AMD software?

AMD Radeon Settings is the primary driver interface that allows the user to make changes to the graphics driver’s many options. The interface’s icon is put in the system tray once the driver has been loaded to provide rapid access to Graphics and Video profiles, and other features.

Because AMD Radeon Settings has been carefully built for the graphics card, making changes to the settings is quite secure.

Starting with the driver and software components, the uninstall procedure will remove them from your computer. During the uninstall process, the screen may go black sporadically, and this might persist for up to ten minutes total.

When you uninstall AMD Radeon software, the device driver will remain installed, and the associated software will no longer be required for the proper running of your system.

It is recommended that you uninstall Radeon Software prior to installing another graphics driver in order to avoid any file conflicts that might cause the installation of new drivers to fail.

Moreover, RadeonTM Software’s Game Advisor function, which analyzes game performance in real-time and makes recommendations on how to improve the gaming experience by adjusting different graphics settings, can help you get more out of your gaming experience.

But it is not necessary and can be uninstalled as well before installing other drivers in order not to interfere and cause system file misconfigurations.
