I just upgraded from a Radeon R7 260x and 550W PSU to a Sapphire R9 280x and a 850W Coarsair PSU. What will I need to do to install? Do I need to just put in hardware and install drivers? Or, do I need to uninstall all the current drivers first? Any advice is appreciated.
Thx

I think both cards use the same unified driver. You should only have to replace the card.

R7 and R9 has the same drivers. I think it's the 14.4 update, INFs are registered to your PC so I think it will automatically detect your device. But if this does not work, then you might need to uninstall the current ATI driver, then re-install it again.
