Upgrading Graphics Cards

[LtGeneralStore]

Hello everyone!

I currently have an AMD Radeon R9 290 and my family has gotten me a GTX 1070 for Christmas. My question is: what do I have to do to properly switch cards and not cause any problems? I also have the Radeon settings, AMD Gaming Evolved, and Plays.tv programs. I'm assuming that I would have to remove those, right? I would only really want to keep Plays.tv because it allows me to save a 30 second highlight clip which is fun!

Thank you,

I think Shadowplay can save 30s highlight (maybe) , but you can use PlaysTV when your graphic card not AMD ..

Just sell your old computer and buy a new better one. that's what i always do

First uninstall the drivers,radeon settings,and amd gaming evolved (idk about plays.tv) , switch cards and install nvidia drivers and other.

When you install a graphics card with unrecognized drivers, your computer will automatically use the graphics processor integrated with your CPU/APU until you install the correct drivers and restart the computer.
