Please Advice - switching GPU

[dreamhacking]

Switching from nvidia to AMD.

Is it necessary to uninstall the nvidia driver prior installing AMD driver?

If i don't uninstall the old driver, will there be conflicts or affecting performance of the AMD GPU?

 

Thanks.

Nope, but you might want to uninstall it after to clear up some space

Thanks for the reply. 

If the reason is only for cleaning up some space then it won't bother me. (i have enough storage space for that) lol

I just don't want the computer to run with problems because of nvidia driver not uninstalled while running AMD card.

You should to clear up space for the new drivers.

Most definitely. Here's what i'd do - use DDU to uninstall your Nvidia drivers, then shut your rig down. Swap the cards, then fire your PC back up, then download & install the latest AMD Crimson drivers.

I myself have never had an issue with it, using both graphics drivers on one of my old computers(I switch our graphics cards on it quite a bit).

It probably is a good idea to do though, even if it is just to clear space.

Here is the problem, i used DDU to uninstalled nvidia drivers, installed the AMD GPU, fire PC back up. 

and when i go to AMD site and click download, nothing happened. The download does not begin. NO download screen shows up.

i am kinda lost ... lol

(i tried the same, going to nvidia website, trying to download a driver, NO download screen shows up)

*Drivers won't start download*

I personally don't use Nvidia or AMD's auto detect driver thing. I look up the one i need, manually. Presuming you're using Windows 10 x64, then this is the version you want.

I did not use auto-detect. 

I manually click on "download", but nothing will start the download. 

for some reason, it won't begin.

You must be using some form of adblocker then i guess? Try using Microsoft Edge, just to download the drivers.
