I would download the latest of nvidia first and use them. They should supply the latest, but you never know when they copied the disks.

I would use driver sweeper from guru3d my friend

Dunno if i can link so google

Also, slightly OT but i am running vista x64 with an 8 series card with gtx driver with modded .inf, Works fine installing over earlier driver but think you best to do as you ask and use a cleaner

Yeah use DriverCleaner/Sweeper, and install the latest 177.35 WHQL's, which have just been upped today by Nvidia for those cards.

uninstall card

install new card

boot, download niv drivers (unless i download tonight)

install driver. re configure anything it changes with drivers.

Id Add/Remove the Nvidia drivers, then switch off, swap cards, boot up normally, cancel the Found New Hardware Wizards that pop up, run Driver Sweeper to clean out the left-overs, then install new drivers.
