    NEW 6800 Card & OLD (omega)ATI DRIVERS

    Hi!

    I just received my new XFX 6800LE AGP card but before i install the card should i remove the old 'Omega'ATI drivers (via omega cleanr), or is there a prog from nvidia that can get rid of them. What i do not really want to do is a clean instal, as i only did one 4 weeks ago, and have the pc set up just right. So if i can i would rather avoid it!

    Use driver cleaner mate, you dont have to format and fresh install windows... just a program, ill email it to ya if you add me to MSN

    Get rid of everything before you install your new one, otherwise performance will suffer BIG TIME...

    Cheers

    That's a bit extreme, were you taking the p*ss per chance?

    Just run driver cleaner and remove all Ati (and Nvidia) drivers, download the latest ones. Reboot, ignore windows new hardware detected thingy. Open Nvidia drivers and follow instructions.
