If you change the graphics card....


Don't forget to uninstall the other old card's driver, and get the latest updates for your new one, so everything's trying to contact its own stuff and not having any conflicts. One brand's installer won't remove another brand's installed drivers, and yet one would assume it ought to be made to do that for sure, because nobody is going to have two brands of graphics cards installed together. I got the new AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5450 because the original nVidia card was barely able to do the job on Win-7 never mind Win-8 with even more whiz-bang graphics. When I want 'Zippity-Doo-Dah' I don't want Zippity limping in on crutches...this is not why we're here! ATI Radeon understands that, and delivers for you. This card has a full gig of its own RAM, unlike the 256 Mb on the nVidia.
