Hello,

I'm making this post to find out what happens if you install two graphics drivers on your PC.
For example, if I have a new graphics card and install its driver, will it have an impact if I still use the old graphics card? Will it replace the old driver?

Looking forward to a quick response ^^ thanks everyone

    Hello,

    So you have 2 graphics cards in your PC if I understand correctly?
    If that's the case, there are no risks.
    And even if that's not the case, there shouldn't be a problem either.

      No, that's not it.
      I have a new graphics card that is more powerful than the old one (so I'm replacing it). But if I want to put the old one back for certain specific reasons, will the old driver still be present? Is it possible to have the driver for both the old card and the new card at the same time?

      If you don't delete it, it won't fly away... ;-)
      Unless the drivers of the new card are the same as those of the old card but more recent.

      WELL, exactly, they are two different drivers! The old one is a 325 something and the new one is a 418 something XD

      Oh well, in that case, you'll need to reinstall the old drivers if you put the old card back in your machine.
      Just a tiny piece of advice, before updating to the new drivers, I recommend downloading the ones needed for the old card and saving them somewhere safe in case they are no longer available on the manufacturer's website in the future! (better safe than sorry, right?)

      Alright, thank you. I would have thought it would be possible to have multiple drivers.
