NVidia driver: 296.10

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Planning to buy GTX560 Ti. Currently have a GT240 with the latest drivers.

Was wondering, would i need to uninstall then reinstall the latest drivers once i put the GTX560 in?
Also, is there a procedure that i have to follow to ensure that its all uninstalled? or any places where an nVidia folder/subfolder is hidden that i need to delete?

Thanks in advanced

Even though they may use the same drivers, I would still uninstall them.

If I were you - I would download driver sweeper, delete all old drivers, then shut down your computer.

Install your new GPU while it's shut down (also make sure to disconnect the power cable from the power supply).

Now once booted back up - install the new drivers. That will assure you have no issues with drivers.

Depending on your card, it might do it its self. I have an evga gtx 580 and when i upgraded from my 570 it asked if i wanted to delete my old drivers before installing the new ones. But most likely i would delete the old ones first, just to be safe.
