Bought a GPU , Now what?

[techyvishal15]

Actually I have i5-7500 build for my productivity Purposes. All drivers Installed from gigabyte ( Motherboard's Site ) and Intel's site. Just ordered a 1050 ti and wondering what to do after installing GPU and Connect my monitor to the gpu and installing GPU Drivers. Should I uninstall onboard GPU Drivers after installing 1050 TI's drivers?

Nah, leave them be. PC will manage both finely and switch to the GPU when you plug it.

Just install latest NVIDIA drivers and you're good to go.

If you had another GPU before the 1050Ti you might wan't to uninstall those with DDU.
If you didn't, just do step one and everything's fine.

After the gpu instalation, don't forget to plug the monitor output cable directly to it instead of the mobo's output.

I don't know if you can uninstall your integrated graphics drivers but if you did and something were to go wrong with your new gpu you then wouldn't be able to view anything from your computer
so even if you can there isn't any need to

Well I would not use the graphics drivers on gigabytes site, they are likely outdated. You get your nvidia drivers from nvidia, I linked it below. When you get your 1050 ti install it into the computer then install the drivers from the link below, that all your have to do you do not need to delete the iGPU drivers, if you plug your display cable into the GPU it will be used instead of the iGPU.

You can and if you did it would not result in the screen just going black. There are default windows graphics divers that will at least let you see what your doing, resolution may not be right however and performance would likely be terrible if you tried to play a game or something. That's why a gpu will work with no drivers installed.

Answer is no. Beacuse if your GPU dies or something is wrong with it you won't see anything on your desktop ( monitor ). Keep them because you might need it and nothing bad, only good can happen if they stay.

But I read somewhere if I don't disable onboard GPU Drivers , cpu will still make frames and will use it's resources too.
And what's DDU ?

Thanks all for all replies and help, I really appreciate it
