Geforce3 -> 5900xt upgrade question

I am running the lastest nvidia drivers on windows XP, when I upgrade the
card, do I need to re-install the drivers, or can I just swap the cards out
and let windows pick up the change?

Thanks

When I changed from a GF4 to an FX I had to re-install drivers, which is
weird considering they are unified drivers...

It's not really.....
The unified 'driver' just contains all the different variations of driver and the one that
you need is installed. If you change your card, you have to reinstall the driver.
