Getting GPU repaired; need to DDU?

[DannyBoii]

I will be sending in my Nidia 1050 ti 4g tomorrow for repairs. When I get it back will I need to DDU and put a new copy of the drivers on? I supposed I could've skipped askign and just done it, but, hey xD thanks for the help!

if youre getting the exact same gpu back then no.

what place was willing to warranty a 1050ti?

There's not really a situation where you HAVE to DDU, unless you actually have a problem.

 

I think I've only used it once in all the years of building/upgrading PCs, long before DDU existed.

I still have a manufacturer's warranty on it. MSI themselves is doing the repair.

Do I even need to get rid of the drivers that are on the pc currently?

No.
