So i have a gtx 460 and im going to upgrade to gtx 760.

My question is do i need to uninstall the drivers (im on the latest 344.11) or do i just have to plug in the new card and it will work.

Thanks!

It wouldn't hurt if you uninstalled them, but it might work without the hassle. Just put it in and see what happens, if it doesn't work take the card out. Uninstall the drivers, put the card in and install the new one. Not going to break anything.

Just uninstall and download again if you don't want any trouble, trust me.
