I had a budget build geekgasm today. I'm not made of cash and wanted to upgrade my old GPU (560ti). I got a EVGA Gforce GTX 960 card for 100.00 delivered. Anyway what steps do I need to take driver wish to switch old card to my new awesome card (at lease for me)?

I recently upgraded from an 650ti to a 970. As soon as I put it in, turned on my comp, I saw GeForce Experience recognized it and could play from the get-go.

 

As long as geforce drivers are up to date, you should be good. Make sure you put it in while the computer is off!

Not sure what you are asking? If you are asking for the best way to install new display drivers, use DDU.

Yes, run DDU in safemode.
