use driver sweep to uninstall all previous drivers.

There is no specific way, but I recommend DriverSweeper to do a fresh install.

It removes all the old files for sure and then once the old files are completely gone, you can download the new AMD catalyst suite drivers off their website and install the new drivers.

Yes you should run a driver cleaner program to remove the old graphics driver.

The program is free and can be downloaded here

I hope you enjoy your new graphics card and Happy Christmas

ok thanks i never did this before. so i just uninstall with drivesweeper, restart download the amd drivers then insert the new card and restart again?

squirtle2 :

Yes, though after installing the new drivers, you probably won't have to restart again.

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 24, 2013

it sure never hurts to restart after you install the new amd drivers

squirtle2 · Dec 24, 2013

got it thanks a lot guys and merry christmas!

ok i am confused im following this guide and it says to uninstall drivers in add/remove program and there are 3 nvidia programs: "NVIDIA Drivers" "Nvidia Graphics Driver 307.83" and "Nvidia Update 1.10.8" do i remove all of these? and if i remove the drivers before installing the new card/drivers will the screen still display?

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 25, 2013

uninstall all of the drivers.....you will still be able to get the display.

it will revert to vga at resolution 800*600 or something around those lines.....but you will get display

are you sure because the other gpu is onboard and i already switched the primary gpu in the bios to the 6670 and it seems to work fine accept that combat arms crashes after it loads

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 25, 2013

just uninstall old drivers>reboot your PC in Safe Mode>use Driver Sweeper and select what to clean>press the clean button>restart>install latest amd drivers>restart again and you a good to go.

duude what the heck happened i uninstalled nvidia drivers and now no games work and it says windows aero is not supported. i switched back to PCI just to used webpages, and i installed the drivers earlier shouldnt they be working

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 25, 2013

after you uninstall nvidia drivers you will need to install amd drivers.

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64 (download 13.12 driver)

squirtle2 · Dec 25, 2013

i uninstalled nvidia drivers, nvidia graphic drivers and nvidia update through programs and features, so thats ok?

jay2577 · Dec 25, 2013

If your Nvidia graphics were onboard you probably have an Nvidia chipset as well as Nvidia graphics on your motherboard, those drivers you don't want to uninstall.
What's the motherboard?

squirtle2 · Dec 25, 2013

i have an a6700f hp all else is stocked but i think i did uninstall most the nvidia stuff and cleaned the chipset/physics...

jay2577 · Dec 25, 2013

Are you running a 32 or 64 bit operating system?

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 25, 2013

you will need this...its your chipset driver.

squirtle2 · Dec 25, 2013
