What's the procedure for updating your GPU from Nvidia to AMD?

I took a Nvidia GTX 570 out of my system yesterday and I'll be taking delivery of an AMD 7970 tomorrow. I'm currently using the onboard graphics on my 2500k/Gene-Z. What's the procedure I need to follow regarding drivers?

Is it okay to uninstall the Nvidia drivers now (considering I'm using onboard) and then just plug my 7970 in tomorrow and install the drivers from AMD's website?

uninstall the nvidia drivers,then do a sweep of driversweeper to remove any nvidia drivers left behind,then install your 7970 and install the drivers

Seems simple enough. I'll just uninstall using Nvidia uninstaller, then boot in safe mode and select 'Nvidia Display' and 'Nvidia PhysX' in Driversweeper, then the rest...

Thanks guys.

Oh, you're in for a nice surprise.

I can't wait. I got the Gigabyte Windforce edition. I reckon if I get a nice overclock on it I might be looking at 60FPS on ultra in BF3 at 1440p

I have the Gigabyte Windforce 7970 x3 1000 MHz/1375mhz stock i run 1150 MHz/1650mhz on stock volts of 1174 mv.

That's a nice overclock on stock volts!

Is your card voltage locked?
