One last roll of the (AGP) dice...
Wishing to upgrade my dual Xeon system for one last time (dual core...who
needs it:-) I thought I would swap out my trusty Quadro 980XGL in exchange for a Gainward BLISS 7800GS+ 512MB How best to install it? Can I just uninstall the Quadro card from Device Manager, remove it & insert the new card and let the latest NVIDIA drivers (84.26) identify and install the BLISS? Will these fully support the Gainward card? -- Thanks & regards, -pp- |

I dont think it works that way, because when installed the driver customizes
itself for that card, so its setup to control the Quadro,(---Pure Speculation but makes sense) just uninstall the driver/remove old card/insert new one then start up and install the new or same driver and be done(after a restart that is) "Pheasant Plucker®" wrote in message ...

I'll give it a 70% success rate if you do it this way. Doesn't hurt to try.
Be sure to remove any Quadro-specific software (like MaxExtreme) prior to the card swap, of course. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

I've had problems going from a GF3 Ti200 to a GF4 Ti4400, and have tested using TnT2 to GF2 MX400 cards as well without uninstalling drivers. After uninstalling driver, and reinstalling the same driver version fresh, problems went away. |

for all the time it would take to uninstall the driver and then turn off
your system to insert the new card, i think it would be daft to try to chance using the driver when configured for another card! |

Thanks for the replies guys...
Thinking about it uninstalling the drivers was the only way to go so that was what I did. Just the one problem - the f*ck*ng card physically won't fit! :-( It is huge and not only would I lose the adjacent PCI slot (which I had already bargained for) but the fan impacts on one of my hard drives - I had to move one of them originally a slot higher so the Quadro wouldn't impact the SATA & power cable on it but there is not a lot of room left in the case. It will have to go back...or should I hang on to it until the limited edition run has ended and then sell on eBay for a profit? ;^) ducking Thanks and regards, -=pp=- "Carl" wrote in message ... for all the time it would take to uninstall the driver and then turn off your system to insert the new card, i think it would be daft to try to chance using the driver when configured for another card! |
