Installing 6800

I currently have a MX440 installed with the 61.77 forceware drivers. I am installing a 6800 tomorrow. Since I already have useable drivers installed do I have to uninstall them to add the 6800 or just disable the MX440 remove it and install the 6800. Sorry for the noob question but I would really appreciate some help. BTW, this site has been extremely helpful. I just replaced my stock 250W PSU with an Antec 400. I'm trying to turn my HP a350n into a decent rig.

How do I reinstall drivers that are already installed? Download them again from Nvidia?

Currently, nVidia does not have their latest drivers shown on their website. There are many beta versions out there, but from what I gather, the 65.73 version is the most stable out right now. They'll also give you that higher 3DMark05 score if that's what you're in to.

As for installtion of the 6800, I would recommend uninstalling the current drivers by using Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, and finding NVIDIA Drivers. Uninstall, power off the PC, and switch the cards. Upon booting back into Windows, install the new 65.73 drivers you downloaded previously, and have at it.

Some on this board will also recommend using an nVidia driver cleaner, but I say do not worry about this unless you have any problems whatsoever with the card after installing the new drivers.
