Changing video cards: how?

[fjf]

My monitor just died, and I am going to get a new 34" 21:9 panoramic monitor (there is a Dell U3415W that looks awesome). My old nvidia 8800GT is not enough, and I am planning on getting an Asus 960GTX strix. What's the procedure?. If I just switch the cards I'll get a black screen.

To me that looks a little optimistic for a Core2duo 2.67GHz.

I am getting an Skylake later...when MAC OS supports it. I may be optimistic, but...is it possible or it just wont work?.

You need Yosemite and Web Drivers - do you have that?

No. I am on Mountain Lion. Guess I'll have to upgrade.

To run any Maxwell card you must be running Yosemite.
