what to do after installing new graphics card

wrenaudrey

I accept just received my ASUS GTX670.
I currently take a GT240 and have just (literally simply) installed the latest nVidia Drivers: 306.97

I already know how to put information technology into the case, the motherboard you lot know... hardware stuff. Now the software.
Do i just simply boot as normal when ive plugged everything in or are there steps?

Go to device manager and just uninstall the driver and software this way. Then restart and install drivers, and then your done. To get here just correct click on "My Computer" and select "manage." This is a very simple quick mode and y'all volition be good to go; you don't need to do anything else.

Just boot as normal. Recall to reinstall drivers AFTER booting upwards with the new card.

Because your new card uses the same driver as the one-time, just supplant the card and you lot should be practiced to go.

Sinius idea contradicts Geofelts reply. Whos correct? haha

But boot as normal. Remember to reinstall drivers Subsequently booting up with the new menu.

Are you maxim that i should uninstall the latest drivers first and then?

Yep, uninstall the electric current drivers so restart. After restarting download the correct drives for your carte off the Nvidia site and select custom to do a make clean installation.

I don't meet the point in uninstalling the same driver y'all are going to reinstall.

This is the correct method. It make work the other style, without uninstalling the drivers, but you desire to practice it right and avoid any potential conflicts or stray registry entries. It doesn't take long, but a clean installation of a new card is all-time.

It'due south not the same driver. It's just the aforementioned driver packet - but once you launch the installer, it detects which carte du jour you have and installs the correct driver. It might say it's same driver version, which it is, just it's actually different commuter for unlike cards.

geofelt

It's not the aforementioned commuter. It's merely the aforementioned driver bundle - but in one case you launch the installer, it detects which carte du jour you lot have and installs the correct driver. It might say information technology'due south aforementioned commuter version, which it is, but it's actually unlike commuter for unlike cards.

I could be wrong, but when windows detects new hardware which the new graphics card is, so it will look for a suitable driver which is already there.

My take is to try it first.

edogawa

I could be wrong, but when windows detects new hardware which the new graphics bill of fare is, and so information technology will expect for a suitable driver which is already in that location.

My accept is to try it offset.

It literally takes about 3-5 minutes to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, just do it the right way.

It literally takes near 3-5 minutes to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, but practice it the right way.

I hold. Don't fix yourself upwardly for strange bugs and anomalies that you lot can't explain but to find out after information technology was a driver install error.

You desire to uninstall everything Nvidia in the Control Panel Add together/Remove Programs list.
Restart your PC.
Install the latest drivers.

I similar to use Detonator R.I.P. after uninstalling drivers to completely remove all the trivial traces left behind. When only updating drivers, you don't usually need to uninstall and make clean everything out. But if yous are upgrading your Nvidia card or trying to exercise a completely clean driver install, this helps to remove registry entries, files, and folders.

I like to apply Detonator R.I.P. after uninstalling drivers to completely remove all the little traces left behind. When simply updating drivers, you don't usually need to uninstall and make clean everything out. But if you are upgrading your Nvidia carte du jour or trying to do a completely clean commuter install, this helps to remove registry entries, files, and folders.

I accept to right click on the graphics card and select 'uninstall' or something forth that line right to uninstall the drivers?
And by doing it this manner, it volition save me from uninstalling all the nvidia stuff on 'Add together/Remove Programs' right?

I take to right click on the graphics card and select 'uninstall' or something along that line right to uninstall the drivers?
And by doing information technology this mode, information technology volition save me from uninstalling all the nvidia stuff on 'Add/Remove Programs' correct?

May I suggest you commencement try merely installing your new graphics carte du jour.

If you lot should accept any issues, which I doubt, you can go through the redundant exercise if uninstalling your ole driver and replacing information technology with the same thing.

Yep, just right click on the driver and bank check the little box and it will remove the drivers. Then power down and install the graphics carte if you take not already. Null can really become incorrect, I've washed information technology so many times and never had a unmarried event.

Safe fashion is not required. It's a simple, pocket-sized utility that's piece of cake to use.
