Replacing nVidia with 5850 and have drivers question
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I just recieved an XFX Radeon 5850 I had ordered. I am replacing a PNY nvidia GeForce 9600 GT. What program should I use, if any, beyond the uninstall routine for the nVidia drivers? Is there anywhere I should look for any remnant for the nVidia drivers before installing the ATI ones and if there is a 3rd party program to remove remnants of drivers should I use it in place of the nVidia driver uninstall or after I use the nVidia uninstall. Also, what version of ATI drivers should I use and where is the best place to get them? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use the newest version. Download and save it then use the driver cleaner. Then it will be right there to install.
