So I have an a10-7870k and I recently bought a dedicated rx 460, before I installed the card I deleted the apu drivers and insalled the rx 460 driver then installed the card. Everything worked the only question I have is if I need to reinstall the apu drivers and keep them updated or if I just need my gpu drivers. I am not using the iGpu btw just using it as a CPU for now until I upgrade. Thanks in advance!!:)

You don't NEED the driver for the iGPU, but there is no reason to have uninstalled the driver. It "plays nice" when left installed. If it were me, I would have left the iGPU driver installed since w/o a display connected to it... Win won't load it anyway.
