Hi, I have just received my new 2080 super. I know how to physically change the gpu but I'm unsure on how to go about uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling new ones. Do I need to uninstall old drivers with my current 1080 in or can i just put the new gpu in and do a clean install using NVIDIA driver installer?

 

Any help much appreciated.

You shouldnt have to do anything. Its all the same driver package so you should be able to plug and go.
