My question is as follows. I am getting ready to upgrade my rig to Xfire HD 7950 cards. I have read many how to guides and watched tutorials on how to do this.
My basic understanding goes like this. Turn off PC. Ground yourself, open case, plug in new video card, attach psu cables, secure framing and add xfire bridge. Reboot.
Some of my reading revealed that is a good idea to uninstall video drivers then reinstall upon boot up, until then run through mobo graphics. Since my monitor is hooked up to my video card now if i disable/uninstall the drivers will my screen come back or do I need to switch my monitor to the mobo video input/output before I disable/uninstall or will the mobo graphics unit pick up and run video to my monitor regardless of video card drivers being installed?
