    Need to test a GPU, but without uninstalling Current GPU drivers?

    I just bought a GTX 950 from a thrift store for $10, i want to see if it works, but I currently have a RTX 2070 Super installed in my system, along with all the updated Nvidia drivers. Is there a way for me to test the 950 without having to uninstall all the drivers for the 2070? I plan on give away the 950 for free (want to help someone out because of the current gpu shortages) and want to make sure it actually works first though.

    Hi,

    You can install it in the system and make sure it actually works so no you don’t have to install the drivers for the GPU to give you a basic display but if you wanted to test the GPU’s gaming performance then yes you would need to install the drivers for that particular card to ensure it works while playing games.
