Hi All

I have a geforce xfs 295, Latest drivers 280.60 and Windows 7 64bit.

I just bought the new GTX 590, which uses the same drivers, should i uninstall all the drivers and re-do it or just replace it and let Windows do its thing?

Also, will i see a difference in speed from the 295 in my games like SC2, COD, Battlefield... :D ?

Thank you
Milianoart~

just download and do clean reinstall after you do your upgrade,, it should work without redoing your drivers, but you never know what cobwebs need to be cleaned out -- Windows is too stupid to trust to do its thing for hardware drivers,, hell if you still have windows drivers for your storage, you may want to go to intel or amd to download those, too
that last question is silly, i won't even answer -- :p
