Switching Nvidia cards

I received my Ledtek 6600GT video card in the mail today and when I get home from work, plan on installing it, along with a replacement power supply on my 2nd Rig (siggy)

The old card is an ASUS GF4 ti-4800, but if the drivers are unified, and I'm installing another Nvidia chipset card, is there any reason to reinstall drivers, other than update to the latest?
 
Well it would be best to use newer drivers that would get the most out of your new card.

If you're running older ones on the Ti4800, now would be a good time to upgrade them.

In theory, it *should* work, as long as you are running relatively recent drivers that know about the GF6.

In practice, you could have issues if things in the driver are configured for the older card and don't get switched properly. I would uninstall and reinstall the drivers just to be safe; it's not like this takes a huge amount of effort.
 
I've got very recent, if not the more recent drivers. Assuming they are the unified set, it should make no difference. I'm not at home, so I can't do much about it yet.
