Drivers for new GPU

LawrenceKG0D · Jan 6, 2017

So guys, right now i have a kinda old GPU ( nVidia GT 630 1GB DDR3) so thats why i thought it would be a good idea to replace it with a Zotac GTX 1050 Mini. The problem is, what do I do after I install it in the motherboard. I should download/install the drivers manually or???
Any advise will ease me. Thanks in advance

you should always uninstall the old drivers first before installing the new GPU

Well you need to uninstall all drivers from your old GPU first.

Then when you plug the new GPU in, it should work fine. If your pc boots up then download the drivers from here (http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk)

Yes get the Drivers from Nvidia site.

captaincharisma :

Amd card to nvidia - remove drivers first
Nvidia card to amd - remove drivers first
Nvidia to nvidia (as I'm doing ) or amd to amd - you dont need to remove drivers at all , just update them

LawrenceKG0D :

depends on how old the drivers are from the old GPU. the OP could still have drivers installed before there new GPU existed

I've never uninstalled the drivers unless it was a platform change , If it's Nvidia to Nvidia or AMD to AMD there shouldn't be an issue. Just update to the new drivers from the site and the install will over write the old drivers.
