Are there any big steps to switch from nvidia to ati (vice versa). I turned off computer took off 9500 gt and inserted my HD 6770 ( juniper xt) and when i booted my computer there was a black screen. The fans were also pretty loud. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
 
A 6770 is an older power hungry card.
You will need a 450w psu and a 6 pin aux pcie connector.

Every graphics card has a default basic low res graphics mode that does not need any driver.
If you don't see that, you may have insufficient power, a defective card, or possibly the input selector on your monitor does not reflect the actual cable attachment.

Once you get the basic mode display, you will have to uninstall the nvidia driver and install the amd driver.

I had a 330w not i switched to an Antec 550w psu. I put in the card and am getting no display from the gpu. I had to connect to the mobo to view my computer. Probably a defective card?
