Switching AMD to EVGA. Do I need to uninstall amd drivers?

stephenrocks · Jan 10, 2016

So, I currently have an amd r9 270x, and a friend gave me his old zotac gtx 760. Is it necessary to remove amd drivers before adding the gtx 760? My motherboard has an amp chipset and i'm afraid of deleting it on accident. So if it's not necessary I don't really want to. You guys tell me. Is it really that important?

ABSOLUTELY YES - you have an AMD card currently and your new card is Nvidia. You must uninstall the GPU driver package which can be done from programs and features within control panel.

okay, i'm on the screen to uninstall the drivers. how do I make sure i'm not deleting any chipset drivers that can harm my computer?

Your chipset drivers are not part of either the older GPU driver suite CCC (Catalyst Control Centre) or latest Crimson driver suite, so you do not have to worry about this. Remember that when your PC was first built only the default MS drivers were installed until such time as you (or the PC builder) installed the correct ones from the motherboard CD, and you can always download any drivers from your motherboard manufacturers website if you think they've been deleted by accident.
