so basically im upgrading from my 780ti to a 980ti iv made sure everything is compatible got a corsair ax1200i psu ready for it now my question is do i need to do anything before installing my new card a few people of told me to uninstall old graphics card drivers before putting then new gpu in. Do i need to do this i really kinda wanna go the safe root where i shouldnt get any issues in the future if i do need to uninstall the old drivers am i better off uninstalling all of nvidia stuff run cc cleaner to clean all the nvidia files turn my computer off then install new card then reinstall drivers or do i need to do it a different way thanks for the help.
