Hello, so I am replacing my old Nvidia GTX 550 TI with MSI R9 270X gaming. I don't know if i should delete Nvidia drivers before removing Nvidia graphics card or after AMD one is installed into?

And is it enough to delete all Nvidia things just from control panel - uninstall a program?

Generally it's enough to uninstall them just from control panel. But if you want to properly uninstall everything, you can follow this;

Generally, the best thing to do is;
1) Download the AMD drivers (DO NOT INSTALL THEM YET) and save them somewhere, then uninstall nVidia drivers
2) Turn off PC
3) Take out nVidia card
4) Insert AMD card
5) Boot up PC
6) Install the AMD drivers
7) Reboot PC & you're done.
