Greetings. I have just ordered one Asus DCUII 780 TI to replace my ASus GTX 580 Matrix. What should I do, software wise, to my system to change the cards and how should I go about doing it? Thanks!

 

Also I ordered an Asus PB278q to go along with my 780 TI (and soon to be 2 780 TI's...)

You don't have to do anything software wise if your Nvidia driver is updated.

Oh and I plan to use the single Asus monitor to game and the 24 inch Acer as a aux display. I have never upgraded the graphics card before, and I admit I do not know what to do. Should I uninstall the driver and reinstall the new one once i swap the cards physically what about afterburner?

Once you install the new gpu into your system, uninstall the old drivers and download the new ones, including GeForce Experience and whatever is on the ASUS website under the product and support
