Amd To Nvidia But want to keep APU Working. Help Please!

RavenBoy · Jan 2, 2016

I have a radeon HD 7750 to a gtx 950 but from what i checked online i need DDU to make this work properly. i just dont trust 3rd party Programs, especially with my history with it, but i just need to know. BTW i also bought this computer from retail and upgraded it the Radeon GPU.

Can i just use the AMD uninstaller and uninstall the graphics card then switch? in fact i dont mind using Cc-Cleaner if i have to but still can anyone help? i dont want something like this complicating anything. Like having black screen ETC.

PC Specs:
CPU: A10-6700
GPU: Radeon HD 7750
RAM: 12GB
HDD: 1TB
PSU: 650W ROSEWILL
OS: WINDOWS 8.1
Moniter: 1600x900

Power down and remove the AMD card, insert the Nvida card and connect to monitor via DVI then boot up and see if you get a picture on your monitor and it loads Windows, if it does then install the latest Nvidia driver and enjoy.

Windows 8.1 will have no problem running multiple graphics card adapters and their respective drivers.
No need to uninstall any old amd drivers or apps.

Install the nvidia card. It will run in a low res mode without any drivers. Then, you can install the nvidia drivers to get full resolution and functionality.

I've been doing it for years with W7.

As of windows 7, I think, there is no longer a restriction to using only one graphics driver like there used to be in Vista.
At one time, I experimented with a second cheap amd card to offload the work of the main nvidia gaming card.
It worked fine, but I found that there was no performance benefit and the quality of the amd image was so bad that I abandoned the experiment.

XP also had no restriction, it was only Vista that wouldn't allow two different graphic card drivers on the same system.
