So my 7870 arrived to replace my old gtx 480.
my radeon 7870 physically installed fine.
as you know when you boot with new gfx card with no drivers installed you get the standard crappy resolution.
at this point I installed the latest amd drivers, then after this, uninstalled as many nvidia drivers and programmes as I could. after this I restarted and everything looked like it was running fine, quiet and running back at my normal resolution.
at this point I decide to give it a test and launch a game. no games seem to run, all of them just blink and not load, some give errors messages.
the best error message I received was with bf 3
from this it seemed like directx wasn't working but directx 9c and 11 are both installed. as you know you can't really download directx any more, you have to do it all through the windows updater, which says I do not need it.
the only thing I can think of is that I not installed nvidia stuff first, but I suspect there is more to it than that.
the 3 remaining nvidia files will not let me uninstalled even in safe mode.
cheers.
