Hello good folk of the LTT community!

 

The title may seem like this is one of those threads but it really isn't :D. In a moment my GTX 970 will be delivered and I always hate the hassle with the drivers. Linus did AMD and Nvidia at the same time in a PC but I wonder, did he do anything fancy to get it that way, or can I just install the Nvidia drivers with the AMD drivers still installed no problem whatsoever?

As far as I know he just installed them and it worked but don't quote me on that

Oh wait, I though you wanted to run both cards in the same system like Linus did... if not then you're probably fine, you should still uninstall the amd driver though.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
