I have been using ASUS GeForce GTX 760 OC 2GB in Windows 7 64bit using the driver downloaded directly from nvidia.

I am now replacing it with EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB w/ ACX Cooling.

What are the step-by-step guide when replacing the driver?

Do they use the exact same driver?

If not, I'm guessing step as below. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

1) Uninstall nvidia video driver
2) Remove old GPU from mobo
3) Install new GPU to mobo
4) Install nvidia video driver

Don't bother! They use the same driver and it should be fine. Put the new card in, if nothing comes up on screen, put the old card back in and use Display Driver Uninstaller to remove all drivers and shut down. Then, put the new card in and reinstall the drivers. :) 
Let me know how you go!
