Hello,
I am planning on upgrading to either a GTX 780 with a ACX cooler or to GTX 780 Ti with just the stock cooler. I do not plan on overclocking and I might put it in SLI in the future. I would like to get as much life out the card as possible. So, I wasn't sure if the stock cooler will decrease the live span at all or if it wouldn't even matter. Also, what will I need to do to ensure the new graphics card will properly? Do I need to uninstall old drivers and then boot up again? I am sorry still learning how to figure out computers and their components.

I have gtx titan which i believe will be the same cooler as stock. It actually blows the air out the back which is nice if you have a good case setup with proper fan placement. I'd rather get rid of the air then blow hot air around inside the case but thats just me.
