Was running an ASUS Strix 1060 6gb RoG OC edition, upgraded to an ASUS Strix 1080ti 11gb RoG OC edition, when I installed, literally, I just swapped the cards over, now windows and gefore expierence both state my drivers are propper and up to date, aida64 engineer as well as burnin' test stress tests both pass with flying colors on the highest tests.. question is, should I unplug the card, plug into mobo graphics uninstall programs and drivers, reboot reinstall the new disk then the new card? Or think everything is fine as is?

If you want to go voiding warranty onto the extreme overclocking side, you can edit the BIOS using Pascal BIOS Tweaker and nvflash when or if it's out.

Until then, use Nvidia Inspector or ASUS GPU Tweak, start a benchmark (like Unigine Heaven) which stresses your GPU to maximum, increase the core and memory clocks by small increments like 5-10 MHz, applying each time and wait atleast a minute before increasing the clocks further.

When you go over the limit or when it gets unstable, the display driver will crash and recover, restoring the default clock speeds. It's safe.
Worst case your PC will stop responding completely until you pull the power chord out and restart. (With my experience, it's still safe, tested on Strix 970)

you can run ddu to wipe the drivers and later install them again

since the drivers offered by nvidia are like most of other driver, they usually cover at least 10 products, so you have drivers for the 1060, 1070, 1080, 1050ti, 1050, 980, 980ti...

you can do it, but if it is working properly, i see this as a waste of time

just remember to update your drivers manually if they don't update themselves automatically

GPU Tweak is what I prefer. Otherwise on the more manual side, Nvidia Inspector is the best but isn't as user-friendly.
Reinstall GPU Tweak and clean-install nvidia drivers. Leave GeForce Experience as it is. If you wana be totally sure, perform a clean install with drivers.

When you find a stable clock speed for each (Core and Memory), run the benchmark and leave it on for a long time (over 2 hours) and make sure the card doesn't overheat and the drivers don't crash. Then try on an extremely high resolution (4k? 8K? as high as possible, use 3D Vision or Wall Surround presets) and stress the memory out for a long time. If nothing crashes or overheats, your clocks are stable.

DO NOT change the voltage, it's the safe side.

Every GPU overclocks differently. Don't just go with the clocks you find online, they MIGHT not work out.
Goodluck :)
