    Can a graphics card alter drivers just by installing?

    I've recently purchased an msi gtx 1060 and I plugged it in to test it out. Long story short, I needed a new power supply. However, I switched back to my old gt 760 until the power supply arrives. Did putting that new card in alter my drivers? I am 100% sure everything is plugged in.
