Yes to get full performance you need amd catalyst driver

 

After, repeat ddu to remove amd driver reinstall  nvidia gpu and driver.

I bought a used  6950 xt but cant test it right now. My question is if it is possible to test the card in a system of my friend. he uses a 3070. 

My plan is it to just put the amd card in and test if it works.

-is it possible?

-Do i have to uninstall the nvidia drivers and install them again when i put the 3070 back in

-Do i need amd drivers to test the card?

-Whats the smartest way to do this?

 

Thanks for any help.

IMO, Best practice is to DDU the Nvidia drivers and install AMD drivers.

 

Check for physical damage, especially on fan blades, PCB around PCIE pins & the PCIE pins itself. (Unless damages already specified by seller)

Run synthetic benchmarks, monitor thermals.

Monitor "quirks" (rattling, etc) (Unless quirks already specified by the seller)

Try out all the output ports.

If the GPU have dual vbios, try out each vbios.
