Nvidia gpu upgrade...to another Nvidia card

[TechBloke]

Hi guys...there is a recent thread on going from amd to nvidia. I am going nvidia to nvidia. There are lots of guides but I need someone to give me the definitive answer. Should I use ddu as part of the process or just uninstall old drivers using add/remove programs? Thanks!

As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I would use DDU to remove the old drivers, even though it's not necessary in most cases.

''or just uninstall old drivers using add/remove programs'' should not be any issue that way as per NVidia never use device manager

all this is found in all drivers release notes and links to install / uninstall support / help pages

pages 23 and 33

Great, thanks guys. Never replaced a gpu. Installed one in a machine that did not have one though.
