Hello

I bought a GTX980. My old gpu is a GTX 660. I have Windows 10 on my pc. I noticed that when Windows 10 downloaded to my pc that it added updated drivers thru Windows Update.
Before that I used GeForce Experience to download updated drivers.

I currently have driver 355.60

For the new gpu, should I delete the old drivers or install the GTX 980 and use the GeForce Experience to make sure I have the latest driver for the new gpu?

I believe that 355.60 is currently the latest driver for most of the NVIDIA desktop GPUs. Running it right now.

I suggest uninstalling those drivers before replacing the GPU.

Most people prefer to install device drivers manually but Windows 10 does it automatically by default. If you want, you can disable that. Looks like you haven't experienced any problems with the automatic drivers install, but many others have so be careful. If not, then uninstall drivers, turn off the PC, replace the cards, boot up, sit back and wait for Windows to do it's thing.
