I am upgrading so do i need to uninstall the old 6700 graphic card driver. Or can i just pull the card out than put the new 250 in and install the driver? Link to comment

When i boot up my computer the monitor wont turn on. i used a converter jack on the jack from my monitor. Nothing will show up on the monitor. Do i need to uninstall the old driver with my old graphic card or can it just work with the new one? Link to comment

It will look like crap or look great, but you would still see something. Make sure you have the card all the way in the slot. Pull it out and put it back in and make sure it clicks in.

Take the GTS out, put the 7600 in and uninstall the old driver. Put the GTS in and boot. 2. Take the GTS out, put the 7600 in and uninstall the old driver. Than reboot, and install the new driver, reboot than boot down and put the new card in. And i see nothing on the screen. Link to comment
