Hello I just brought the card but what drivers do I install for this card like the best drivers and links would be great thank you. Also I have nvidida drivers already install in the desktop, how should I remove them and safe. So it wont mess up with the ATI drivers. Sorry for poor english.

8.7 from ATI site, working great for me.


look for a program called Driver Cleaner, it will get ride of the NVIDIA drivers..

how ever even after this program if run, if your system doesnt seem right or your new card not perform as it should, you may want to do a complete format of windows to assure all NVIDIA crap is gone.

First uninstall all the nVidia video drivers and apps normaly, then its recommended to use Driver Cleaner Pro afterwards to get rid of any residual files that may be left over. Format isn't necessary unless something gets really screwed up.
