I have been trying out different graphic cards through my local retailer by taking advantage of their 30 day return policy since March of 2014. I have tried a Nividia reference GTX 770, PNY 780, ASUS CUII 780Ti & an EVGA SC ATX 780 Ti; as well as, the ASUS CUII R290. I now have decided on keeping the MSI Lightning that just came in from Amazon (the ASUS CUII R290 impressed me so much I'm sure the Lightning is a keeper) but I am a bit concerned about a couple details. The first one is regarding drivers. I went through step by step removing Nvidia drivers and software before installing the ASUS CUII R290. Do I need to do anything special to install the MSI R290X? The second is in regard to my
PSU. It is 1.5 years old. I have an RM850 sitting on my shelf but really should return it to get my money. If its necessary, I can install it and sell mine. Any advice you can give me regarding my questions OR my configuration before I install the MSI is much appreciated.
