Hello!
I have a small question involving switching from NVidia to AMD GPU's.

I currently have a GT 740 Low Profile 2GB GPU (NVidia, Zotac), and I was wondering if I should switch to the 1060 6GB for roughly $250, or head over to AMD with their RX 480 at not too much of a performance difference at $200 and save $50.

1. Can I do this?

2. If I do this, should I need to uninstall NVidia drivers and Geforce experience, or should I not need to worry?

Thank you in advance,
The Final Slice

It's practically neck and neck between the RX 480 8GB and GTX 1060 6GB right now so I'd just go for the cheaper option.

You would need to uninstall/delete all NVidia drivers, apps and folders if you went over to AMD, you can use Display Driver Uninstaller to get rid of most of it.

Alright, thank you both very much! Is Display Driver Uninstaller a pre-installed program or downloadable software?
