I was tinkering around in Device Manager trying to install the driver for my monitor after doing a fresh Windows install. While updating the driver from the manufacturer, I accidentally deleted my display driver. Now, in the Windows graphics settings, I see two GPUs listed: 'High Performance (AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT)' and 'Specific GPU 1: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT'. I tried installing the latest driver from AMD Adrenaline Edition, but I ran into an error about an incompatible driver, although it still managed to install. I'm confused about why I have two entries for my GPU and how to remove the 'Specific GPU 1'. My PC seems to be running fine; I was gaming before I realized I didn't have game mode turned on, which led me to discover this mess. My CPU is an Intel i5 12400F, so I don't think it has integrated graphics. Can anyone help me sort this out?

You might want to use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely remove all your graphics drivers. It's usually a good step when switching GPUs or fixing driver issues. You can download it from Guru 3D's site. After that, just reinstall the latest AMD drivers, and that should fix the dual listing problem you're seeing.
Yeah, like GraphicsGuru suggested, DDU can be your best bet here! It cleans up any remnants of old drivers, which can cause confusion like you’re experiencing. Just make sure to follow the instructions properly for safe use. Good luck!
