Hi I'm really new to this awesome PC community but I'm still confused, I recently bought a evga 2080 xc gaming GPU to replace my rtx 2060 but my problem is do I just swap out the graphics cards or do I have to use ddu to erase the drivers or does nvidia sense I have a new GPU and automatically download the newest drivers for my new GPU I would greatly appreciate it you guys could help this noob into the amazing PC gaming world
