I planning to upgrade my gtx 550ti to gtx 970. My current gpu driver is the latest already and I have no issues running it. It is still necessary to uninstall it before changing the gpu?

To answer your question: No, when using GeForce Experience (which you should be if you're not) it will automatically uninstall the old drivers when it installs the new ones.

Thanks for the quick response people. Nice forum here. I usually just Google around for answers but this question kind of too confusing for Google lol.
