Gigabyte 7600GT Review

Installation

Installation? What installation! It’s pretty easy to install your new shiny video card. Simply unscrew your old one, drop this one into the new slot (open up the adjacent I/O port first) screw it down and you’re ready to fly. Boot up your computer, uninstall your old drivers, and install the new ones. You can use the ones off the supplied disc, though I like to always get the latest ones from the NVIDIA site.
