installing 6800 ultra

joker424 · 04-08-2005, 12:45 PM

Just got a 6800 ultra and will be putting in soon. Is there anything i need to take care of on the pc before i do this. Like remove old drivers etc. I am currenlty running a geforce 5700, upgradeing to the 6800 will be a big upgrade. i know how to put the card in and hook it up to the power supply and what not. just herd i should delete all old drivers is this true??

Yes deinstall all the old drivers - if you want to make sure there is a program called driver cleaner to get rid of anything that didnt get taken care of in the deinstallation process.

i would also swap them.

and then go to the gforce driver site and get the newest gforce installer for xp, and run that.

should be no problems with this.
