twelveways · 07-15-2007, 06:21 PM

So I have basically rebuilt my system but still using my old hd. My old gfx card was a nvidia card as is my new on-board gfx chip, so I plugged the monitor in to the motherboard and it ran fine. Now I want to connect my new ATI gfx card butam unsure how to change over and configure etc, whats the easiest way to do it?
Do I just stick it in, boot up, install drivers and switch the display cable over or do I need to uninstall the nvidiadrivers first and play around in the BIOS?

cheers
