Should I reinstall games?

Hey,

I just replaced my x850 Pro with a 7900 GTO and formatted my primary partition.

I was wondering though if i should re-install the games?

Hmmm so you have got rid of all your games? Or they are on a different partition?

If the games are on a different partition and all that has changed is your graphics card then it's not completely necessary to re-install the games I don't think just tweak the settings ingame.

You will most likely need to reinstall the games as i take it you wiped your windows partition. as each game sets things up in the windows registry they will nolonger be there so will need to be reinstalled.

Well most games seem to be running fine, should I just re-install them anyway?

To be safe?

Due to registry enteries i'd re-install them. Its up to you though
