Alright, just got my 7950gt, so what's the routine for driver cleaning/changing? I'm going from an X600Pro to this, and I want to make sure I get this set up right. I know this routine has been mentioned before, but search here is pretty worthless, it seems.

drivercleaner ? Thats how i'd do it.

ununinstall drivers from add/remove programs.
reboot
run driver cleaner to get rid of all ATI traces.
turn off PC
plug new card in
boot
get latest drivers and/or use the ones from the CD

omg..i see now DC is not free anymore...you might want to look around on google to find an older version.

If all fails....just the normal way without drivercleaner might work also.

Alright, thanks a ton man. I've always been terrible with drivers. Also, isn't there a distinctive order you should uninstall ATi drivers, such as uninstalling one part before the other? Oh, I forgot to mention I have the latest Omegas (not sure which Cats they are based off of). Do you think just straight uninstalling every piece of them without worrying about order would be alright?
