Changing cards, what about drivers

[roberthorn51401]

Im switching from my 1050ti a 1060 3gb(not much of an upgrade i know dont need insight on waiting my gpu is messing up) i was wondering if i need to uninstall the 1050 ti drivers first?

Purists would do that, yes. But generally, it is not a necessity. The same driver is used for both cards. More than likely what will happen is it will boot using a generic driver initially. Then Win will ask you to reboot and the correct driver parameters will load for the GTX 1060.

What I usually do is run DDU from safe mode to uninstall the previous driver first. Then change cards and reboot, installing the new driver next.
