Im gonna install a new Graphic card to my computer. I still have an old graphic card in my comp. I know how to unscrew and take it out. But before doing all that. I have to uninstall the drivers for my old graphic card? Of course I need but what other steps to ''fully'' uninstall the drivers and stuff?
Any guide out there? What do I need to do?

Yes device manager is fine, but if you are going to change between AMD and Nvidia or vice versa then the additional software in program and features.

Basically I would uninstall the card in device manager, and then either before or after shut down get rid of the AMD CCC/software in program and features. Device manager gets rid of the drivers which is the important thing that can cause conflicts.

You need to uninstall the software program first, then remove the card from device manager.
If you're asked to restart the system, restart then go to the next step.
After uninstalling both the software and the card from device manager,
phisically change cards, then install the new nvidia drivers.
Good luck!
