good day guys,

 

sorry to post this here, but i only have an hour or so to get a reply

 

my 8600gts is going back to the shop and getting replaced under warranty, my question is : is it as easy as just unscrewing it and huling it out?

 

i ask because ive been told about uninstalling drivers first, but surely if im using the same g/c then i dont need to??

 

if someone could reply to this within the hour that knows, it would be much appreciated

 

cheers guys

Hi ther Paul.

 

Open the maschine and unscrew the card. On the mainboard in the rear end of the slot (away from the vga/dvi outs) there is a small hatch you need to swivel out, away from the card. Then pull it out gentley and it all done.

There is no need to uninstall the drivers and even if you should get another type of card it is not essential before the new card is installed. Then how ever i would reccomend you to either change to proper drivers or if the same card make sure they are fully updated.

 

Best Regards,

Martin
