Do I need to manually uninstall/reinstall drivers if I replace my GPU?

  • 772

I'm going to replace my nvidia GTX 1080 with a nvidia GT 730. Can I just replace it and let Ubuntu take care of the drivers or will I need to manually do something?

Thanks

  1. If you talking about the nouveau drivers, no, you do not need to do anything.

    If you are talking about the Nvidia proprietary dirver then theoretically you don't need to do anything, but probably the safest thing to do is to revert to the nouveau driver before replacing it and then reinstall the proprietary ones.
