Hey guys, i was just wondering, IF i remove my graphics card, and place the same one back in would i still need to install the drivers with the CD?

Thanks, Loyal

Obviously, no.

Do you think your drivers will be deleted, pc turned off, when you just unplug a hardware?

Thanks, but im installing the EXACT same type of card, its just a new one.

Well, maybe it's the same model but some things changed, so you might install a new driver. But don't install drivers from cd (from new gpu), just go download the latest version.

My Mate has the exact same Graphics card as me, And he doesnt know if its Nvidia or somthing, thats why im exachanging his with mine, since he barely uses his Pc.

EDIT: And Thanks for the sites
EDIT Again: I just found it i have NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 440

Everytime you put in a new card you should install new drivers to make sure everything re-configures correctly. + you should update your drivers whenever new versions are out to max out the preformance of your PC
