About LinkBacksI just got a GTS 250 GeForce.
My Graphic card was a 6700 or around the 6xxx.
I am upgrading so do i need to uninstall the old 6700 graphic card driver.
Or can i just pull the card out than put the new 250 in and install the driver?

you can do either. nvidia drivers play well with each other. its if you're going from nvidia to ati that you may have problems.

I put in my new card and put the walls back on my tower.
When i boot up my computer the monitor wont turn on.
i used a converter jack on the jack from my monitor.
Nothing will show up on the monitor.
Do i need to uninstall the old driver with my old graphic card or can it just work with the new one?「C」

You are hosed!!!!!!
No matter what you should still get something on your screen. It will look like crap or look great, but you would still see something.
Make sure you have the card all the way in the slot. Pull it out and put it back in and make sure it clicks in.

Well i might call future shop but my dad told me to put the old card in and uninstall the old driver than reboot.
so here are the options.
1. Take the GTS out, put the 7600 in and uninstall the old driver.
Put the GTS in and boot.
2. Take the GTS out, put the 7600 in and uninstall the old driver.
Than reboot, and install the new driver, reboot than boot down and put the new card in.
And i see nothing on the screen.「C」
