Hey Linus Tech Tips,

 

Should I uninstall my drivers for my 270X before I install my 390 or are AMD's drivers unified? Sorry if this is a dumb question I don't have too much experience with this type of thing. 

CPU: Core i7 4770k, RAM: 8GB DDR3 GSkill Ripjaws X, PSU: OCZ 700W, GPU: AMD Radeon R9 270X, Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl, Cooler: Noctua NH-D14

The 300 and 200 series have different drivers, uninstall then reinstall once the new GPU is in.

Should I just uninstall Catalyst Control Center or should I uninstall the drivers through the Device Manager?

I use Catalyst's uninstall program through the control panel in Windows. Choose to uninstall all programs and the re install. I do that every time I change which GPUs I have plugged in, even when I just switch slots.

If anyone asks you never saw me.
