Switching from AMD/ATI (HD 7850) to nVidia (GTX 980)

[Tom-Hart]

Hi folks!

So tomorrow I shoud receive a GTX 980 for my current system (fingers crossed) and I just wanted to be on the safe side and didn't mess up anything while switching.

Setup: Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 | VTX3D HD 7850 X-Edition | 8Gb Crucial Ballistix Sport 1600 DDR3-CL9 | Samsung 840 Evo | Samsung 850 Evo | ASRock B85M-HDS | Corsair RM500x
Dualboot with OSX 10.12.12 (Samsung 840 EVO) and Windows 10 (1 Partition for Windows, 1 for Data (shared via NTFS, Paragon installed))

I read through a lot of threads but couldn't find an exact way for switching from ati/amd to nvidia - so I'm not exactly sure what to do.

-> installing web-drivers without the "check", disable amd inject?, set boot-flags?, ...

Would be gread if someone could help me out

Yes, install the WebDrivers, active them and disable any AMD specific settings (Inject/Ati in your case). This should do it.

Just wanted to let you guys know how i performed my change if somebody else is looking for the same operation:

1 Installed the latest nvidia web drivers (didn't had to fake the "distribution" file, even if I used my amd card while installing (no igpu since I own a Xeon CPU)).

2 Set the inject ati/amd in my config.plist to false

3 Added nvidiaweb to true in my config.plist

4 Turned the system of and switched graphic cards

Tips:
Just read through the threads and before doing anything prepare for some problems, so you won't run into them ;-)

Thank you guys so much!
