Hello,
I have an old Area 51 7500 which needs upgrading from a 8600 GTS to AMD 6670. I have encountered many problems so I would really like to know how I should go about it in the best way. How would I install the new GPU properly? Do I remove all traces of the current Nvidia drivers, software etc then swap in the AMD 6670? Is it compatible with the motherboard? So I need to change settings in the BIOS?
The system:
Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz 8MB Cache 1066MHz FSB
Windows 7 Ultimate
NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI Motherboard
Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00 7500PG
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8600 GTS
750 Watt Alienware® Approved Multi-GPU Power Supply
