Is installing a gpu as easy as it seems?

Yes, it is dead simple.

JUST DO IT! ;)

So, I'm planning on buying a new gpu. I've been using an integrated gpu for a bit now, and I wanted to know if I had to uninstall anything, or if I can just plug in the gpu and install the drivers. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, so sorry! I remember watching a video awhile about uninstalling the current gpu drivers, but I wasn't sure if it applied also to integrated gpu 

 

Thanks in advance!

It's easy. After it's physically installed, remove any old GPU drivers then download + install the latest ones for your new card.

As said above it is really easy and a great thing to do if you want better performance, speaking about performance, wouldn't you love a performing notification tab? All you have to do is follow your topic :)

One of my rookie mystakes was that I didn't know where to put the long backside part, it fits between the motherboard and casepanel:

people seem to make it sound like a much easier process than it actually is!! its actually incredibly difficult!!  i didnt know this when i first did it, and its a key step, apparently you have to take the entire side panel off!!! /s

 

no really its stupid easy, just like sex, put it in the slot and push until it clicks(if you hear a clicking during sex though, you might have broken something and should go to a dr).
