I currently have an AMD R9 380, I have the AMD drivers running atm.
I have recently purchased a EVGA GTX 1070 SC 8GB, I was wondering what to do about drivers once I install the new graphics card into the motherboard. How would I get the drivers? Also, pretty sure the EVGA 1070 does not come with a disc. Thanks for your help

Download the NVidia drivers from their site. Then you need to uninstall the AMD drivers. If the AMD software will uninstall the drivers, use that. If not, you can get something like "Driver Cleaner" to remove the AMD drivers. Power down/unplug your PC, then swap the cards. Restart and then install the NVidia drivers. You'll need to do a reboot after installing the drivers.
 


Personally I've never bothered to uninstall AMD drivers or Nvidia drivers when swapping cards about and as you can also run both AMD and Nvidia cards at the same time in the same PC there really is no point.
