April 23, 20251 yr Anyone have suggestions on installing a new video card? I assume delete shaders, ddu, etc? Do I used the windows uninstaller first then DDU? Chris Chiozza
April 23, 20251 yr Take the old one out, throw it in the garbage. Put the new one in and throw the box in the garbage.😁 Edited April 23, 20251 yr by FBW737 Intel Core i9-10900K at 5.2GHz, Corsair H115i PRO, ASUS MAXIMUS XII HERO Z490, G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 15-16-16-36, ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090, SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 1TB x 3, Corsair HX Series HX1000 Watt PSU, Pimax Crystal LIght.

I would delete the old card drivers and software through windows, power off computer replace new card. Power up computer, let windows install default card drivers. When it's done install card drivers and reboot system. You never specified what OS and card you're using.

April 23, 20251 yr If you switch from a nVIDIA card to another nVIDIA card, you can simply switch them, no need to uninstall anything... Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024

April 24, 20251 yr I just updated my card with another Nvidia card (3080Ti to 5080) and I would recommend uninstalling the current driver before installing the new card. Delete the shaders and rolling cache and DX12 in diskcleanup. Then do a clean driver install direct from Nvidia.com download rather than Nvidia Experience. I wrongly assumed that just installing the new card would pick up the previously installed driver but that was not the case for me Fred Ziker Fred Ziker Ryzen 7 9800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon MB, 64gb DDR 6000 ram, Corsair H100i Liquid CPU cooler, Asus Prime RTX 5080
