Just put in the new GPU and select "clean install" or "delete old" in the driver installer.

If you don't see that option, just leave it, won't kill your system.

Hello guys,

 

Today/tomorrow I’ll be installing my new rtx 4070TS but i realized something, I sold my previous rtx 3060 ti without first deleting the drivers. What should I do in terms of drivers? Is there a way to delete the drivers now before plugging i  the new GPU? Or is it okay if I just plug in the new GPU and then delete the drivers to download the new one?

I've never had any problems switching NVIDIA cards, it likely will "just work".
