All-righty, I am finally upgrading my dying ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256 to an XFX GeForce 6800 GT and I was wondering if anyone had links to or knew a method to correctly switch the drivers from ATI to nVidea drivers?

Thanks.

Just uninstall the ATI drivers from add remove programs in control panel, reboot, and run the install disk you recieved with your video card or load a driver from nVidia's website.

Enjoy the new card.

Great, thanks.

I would have upgraded to a better Ati Raedon

Well, if you can find me a better Radeon card with an arctic cooler or equivalent for $100, I'll take it.

Well to get a better Radeon, you would have to look in the $200 range. Also be warned that the best cooling on the market is Zalman. ThermalTake is probibly the worst.

My point exactly, my brother is selling me his almost new 6800 GT with an arctic cooler for $100.  I was going to wait to buy anything new until next fall when I hopefully build a new computer, but this was too good a deal to pass up.

Wise choice Mobius, nothing wrong with that nVidia card anyway, it's a good upgrade for you, certainly more powerful than my card.

You know, this is yet another fine example of how an nVidia purchase always gives you more bang for the buck.















Steady there ATI fanboys............ was just messing with you  

I know congo Just remember that we still hold the GPU highground (until you overclockers get a hold of the 7900s and rip the X1900s to shreads).

But I really cant bash nVidia anymore, as I may be getting a 7800GT or 7900GT for my birthday. Just remember kids, ATi= Amazing image quality, nVidia=Higher frames. Choose wisely

still prefer Nvidia since my 9800 pro NEVER worked on the detail it should have without overheating and crashing the whole comp

Well then it wasn't the chips fault, it was the cooling in your case

still...a piece of hardware should work even with your case off, and it should also work in "standard" case conditions

Should have got an 6800 ultra as they are out of production now and you can pick one up pretty cheap.

But he got it for $100 flat mate The only card that can tutch that is the 6600.
