Deleting Old Drivers

Nostvlgic

Hey guys I switched from an Nvidia to an AMD gpu. I followed guides online and used Display Driver Uninstaller  to delete old Nvidia drivers. Noob question, but say I give my Nvidia card to a friend he can still use it right ? Just needs to get the drivers for the Nvidia card.

Correct.

 

You didn't do anything to the Nvidia GPU, you changed how your PC interacts with it only.  The GPU is still the same as when you got it.  He'll install the drivers to tell his PC how to interact with the GPU.

Alright thanks, don't know why I panicked and thought I bricked/wiped the Nvidia card completely.

No problem, figured after reading your first post again that a little extra explanation would be warranted.

 

What AMD GPU did you get?  What did you replace?
