So I changed the gpu and psu in my gateway computer, and I was thinking about doing a factory restore. The question I'm having is will the restore try and reinstall amd drivers for my new nvidia card and will that cause any issues? Since it came stock with an AMD gpu. I was wondering if I'll have any issues restoring it or not, thanks.

Welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums!

You will not have any issues! Just go to the graphics card manufacturer's website and download and install the appropriate driver. Your new PSU must have the required wattage and this depends on the graphics card that you installed.

Thank you, I already got the nvidia gpu in and replaced the amd one. I was just worried about using the factory default settings restoring an amd driver for an amd gpu that isn't there, that won't be the case right?

No problem! As long as you have the correct driver installed for the card you have (and you have done that) there will be no issues. Enjoy your new hardware!
