[SOLVED] Upgrading Graphics Card (Drivers)

[Jimper]

So I’m upgrading my first PC component going from a GTX 1660 to an RTX 2060 Super.
Do I have to uninstall all the GTX 1660 drivers or can I just put the RTX 2060 Super in and do an auto update via GeForce Experience? Will they removed all the old files etc automatically?
I’ve seen a lot of people saying to use the Display Driver Uninstaller tool however seems to be mainly for Nividia to AMD.
Thanks for the help.

I think you'll be fine just uninstalling 1660 drivers and put your rtx 2060s drivers on top but i'd still highly recommend using DDU as the old drivers may still bug the new card. You'll save yourself from possible future headaches if you use just wipe it clean with DDU.

Are you familiar with the software? If not, i'd recommend following the steps in this tutorial

I've not used it before but I'll just use this link to try it out at the weekend. Thanks for this.

When upgrading from one Nvidia card to another, it's usually enough to just reinstall graphics drivers with clean install option.

Thanks. Should I do this and then if there's a few bugs just use the DDU software?
