Hi guys, just a quick question about upgrading and drivers. I understand that if i were to go from my current 5770 to something nvidia, i would have to run a full driver sweep and install fresh ones. However, if i were to upgrade to a 6850, would i have to do a full sweep? Could i just update the existing ones or are the cards so radically different that they would require a sweep and fresh install? I ask because my girlfriend needed a GPU, and in lieu of just buying her one, i bought a 6850 for me and she is inheriting my old 5770, and i would like to know how to approach the driver thing. Thanks in advance.
