I just got a new video card and have some questions?

Ok i am currently using a PNY GeForce 8600 GT Video Card and i just bought a BFG Tech BFGE981024GTGE GeForce 9800 GT 1GB. My question is, do i have to uninstall the driver for the geforce 8600 gt, or can i just take that card out, and slip my new card in? And will i get any signal on my monitor if the video card has no driver?|||While in Windows, uninstall current driver from Device Manager. Shut down computer and pull out old card. Insert new video card and turn PC on. When you get to Windows, go to website and get latest drivers and install them. The CD/DVD install disc is probably out of date.|||Hi There,

The link below has a "How To" for your installation.

Hope it helps,

Al|||Hi

It is best to uninstall the drivers, as soon as you put the new video card in it will work but not at the resolution that it will work with the new drivers. it will probably revert to 16 colours. during the process.|||It is highly recommended that you uninstall the drivers for your PNY GeForce 9800 GT video card before you install your new GPU. And yes you will get a signal from the monitor from the video card even if it doesn't have the latest drivers (for example when you first install it).|||Take out the old 8600 card replace with the new one and download the latest driver for your 9800 GT from Nvidias site:
