Straight swap?

[UglyDuck]

Hi. I purchaded a Gigabyte 670 Windforce today, Swapping from a gtx 580 on drivers 301.42, Is it as simple as swap them strait over or do I need to do any reinstallation of drivers?

Thanks

update to latest driver, then just swap the card. you will be fine.

your not changing sides so there shouldnt need to be driver cleaning or anything

As above, enjoy the new card

I swapped them strait over and the driver wouldn't load, No problem aftering reinstalling drivers though.

I was thinking it wouldnt really be an upgrade but I was wrong, It's quicker and a **** load cooler and quieter

cheers

Ye same thing happened when i switched from a gtx 560 ti to a 580. Had to reinstall the driver cos it didn't load.

How are you finding the 600 series stability and performance?

you need to install the latest drivers after you have put in the GFX.

Yeah, a simple driver update once you fit the new card should suffice =)

Yep, definately would update driver - would never just straight swap without changing driver.

I believe the Nvidia drivers have an option for 'perform clean installation' which should do the trick. Shouldn't need to run any driver cleaners etc.
