I have my new Pc build I ordered without a Graphics card Because I already have a GTX 750 TI (Not the best but saved me money)

My new Pc came with Intel HD Graphics 4600.
Do I need to uninstall this to then Install my Gtx 750Ti GPU Drivers? I have been told to go to Device manager Under Display Adapters and uninstall but not to sure if this is correct ?
 
Solution
Intel hd graphics 4600 is the integrated graphics generated by your CPU. You dont need to uninstall anything to add a GPU. Just make sure your bios is set to use external graphics card. Then download the proper drivers from nvidia for you 750ti. If you had another gpu before like a gtx 560 or whatever it woudl be best to uninstall the drivers but not in your case.

You don't need to uninstall any drivers if it's a integrated gpu. Typically (with AMD) you can just run the driver, and then instead of selecting "Install" you can hit "unninstall selected drivers" Not sure about Nvidia though. Also there should be specific tools you can download from the manufacture or the driver site to remove said drivers.

Start by installing your new gpu and installing the drivers, you might not even have to go in the bios.
