| | You can, but shouldn't need to. Windows will detect your Nvidia is not installed anymore, and will see the new card. Windows should install the driver, at which point I would visit your new card manufacturer's site and get the official drivers for it. Hopefully this helps  |

| | Though I understand where sik00 is coming from will say he has a point, I would have to side with slackerITGuy. If you're installing a new video card, remove the old drivers first, then install the new ones. |
