Safe mode is your friend when it comes to removing old display drivers.
Boot into safe mode with the new card installed, (don't put the pci card
in), remove the entry (entries) in system / device manager, search for and
delete any files relating to your old card and reboot. Cancel out of the
New Hardware Found box and install the new drivers, reboot and everything
should be cool.
