New Video Card Install Help?

I currently have GeForce 6600 AGP video card in my computer and over the weekend i notice that the fan fell off on the card so its time to get a new one so im gonna get a GeForce 7600GS 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X, now do i need to uninstall anything or can i just unplug the old video card and then plug the new one in?



Thanks|||You can just replace it, it will use the same driver set. I do recommend getting the latest drivers and installing them.|||Although it is not necessary - It will help prevent any errors, uninstall all of the video drivers before removing the original card.



Just go to your "device manager" and uninstall your 6600..



Then pull it out and plop the other one in (while the computer is off obv.).|||You could unistall the old software but you do not need to. You should be able to just put in the new video card and it will start working right away. (may have to install the drivers that came with it though.)|||Just unplug the old one, then plug the new one in and remember to plug the VGA cord into the graphics card one as if you plug it into the intergrated one, nothing will change.

Maybe you gota install it with the CD that comes with it but there should be a manual in there if you have any trouble|||It would be a good idea to uninstall it, because that will give you no room for error when the new one is installed. I would uninstall it. There is no sence in taking a chance with the new video card, because they are not cheap by any means.|||the card will most likely have a cd with the drivers for the 7600....before you install the new card delete your drivers for the 6600....put the new 7600 in and then run the cd to install the new drivers......then go to the nvidia site and see if there is a newer version of your driver....if so down load and install it....most of the time the drivers on the cd are old....



or you can do it this way...download the new drivers for the 7600 from the nvidia site to your desk top....before you swap out the cards delete the 6600 drivers....shut down and install the 7600 and then fire up your pc.....now the new drivers are on your desktop...just click on the icon and install the drivers......
