Can I swap from an 8800GT to an 8800GT without reinstalling drivers?

Hi all,

I'll cut a long story short - I ordered a new gfx card (from ebuyer) for my new, quiet pc build. I chose the XFX 8800GT 512MB and was outraged when I installed it to discover that this particular flavour of XFX 8800GT (a YHF4 in XFX-speak) doesn't have an adjustable fan speed - yes, the 8800GT cooler runs constantly at 100%. My new computer became louder than my old rig that had an AthlonXP and bristled with 80mm fans!! :wallbash: (There is no information on ebuyer's website about the fan control (or lack of) - and to be fair to ebuyer, XFX themselves list all thei variants of 512MB 8800GTs, but make absolutely no reference to the fact that some of them permanently sound like a small hairdryer). The 8800GT I bought is useless for my needs due to this lack of accurate technical specifications. Fortunately ebuyer have accepted the RMA request for a refund. I've chosen a different XFX card, this time from Scan, that I know not only has adjustable fan speed, but also definitely comes with the new, larger, quieter fan (a YDQ4 in XFX-speak).

So given that they're the same chipset from the same manufacturer, can I just swap them over without having to uninstall/reinstall drivers?

yup.
