Hi All,

With the new discounts on the GTX780 I think it's time to grab a second one for SLI :)

I'm just a little confused on how to go about setting it up. I read one guide that said to just install the card and the bridge and power up the computer and the driver will be recognized. I read another that said you should remove all Nvidia drivers first, then install the second card and then reinstall the drivers.

Can someone point me in the right direction for a good guide or offer up any advice how they setup their 780's? Thanks, I appreciate it!

So would you suggest uninstalling the previous drivers before anything else?

You can either way when you install hit custom and choose clean install..So you will have a fresh start
