Posted November 2, 2016 Hey so I'm planning on buying a new graphics card but I had a question. So Ik you first need to uninstall your old drivers. But my question is when I plug in my new card and I need to install the drivers for it will my PC just display a back screen since I don't have the new drivers yet or how does that work? If someone could help explain this to me that would be awesome. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should you get a card that has the right sockets for your mobo and should you uninstall your current drivers, the PC should just detect and install drivers for the new card as standard. Nothing fancy. Also if you need to go back and do anything just plug your monitor into your mobo graphics for the time being. Simple my friend, simple! Or, there is something called google which you can use! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You probably don't even need to uninstall the old drivers, just put your new card in and install those drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
