I have just recently changed my video card from the amd 6870 video card to the evga GeForce gtx 760.

nice video increase, seems to be running fine, but I wondered if I need chipset drivers for my motherboard?

when I installed the NVidia card I removed all the amd drivers to install the NVidia drivers.

are actual drivers need for the mb chipset? if so where would I find them? everything

on the amd site seems to be cat control center, display drivers, ect. nothing noted as just chipset drivers.

thanks in advance for the information.

Does everything work as it should? If yes, I wouldn't worry about it.

In any case such drivers can usually be found in Windows, they will handle themselves.

Do you have Windows Update enabled on your system? It usually look for updates on all your components and you can set your options where you can choose what to download and install.
