I am getting my new nvidia geforce gtx 750 tomorrow and replacing my old nvidia geforce gt 610. This is my first time I have upgraded the graphics card so I have no clue on what to do on my computer before and after. I know I have to uninstall the driver of my old gpu before I take it out and I know that when my new one is in that I have to download the new drivers from either the disk or nvidia website. I am wondering if I have to use bios or anything like that because I have no idea about any of that. I have a gigabyte GA-78LMT-SP mobo. Thanks
 
Solution
Just uninstall the old driver

turn off and disconnect from the power
swap the cards
boot
windows will find the hardware and want to install software . SAY NO
You will have a crappy low resolution desktop .
Run the disk that comes with the card
Once you have a nice resolution again then head to nVidia and download the latest driver and install it over the top of the one you have
