I bought a new pc but moved my psu and video card to it since mine were better. When I installed the video card I couldn't get a picture. I'm wondering if I need to uninstall the current video card before another one will be recognized???
Yes. You need to uninstall the driver for the old video card and then install the correct driver for the new card. Once you uninstall the old driver, Windows should automatically install a generic driver that probably won't use your new card to it's full ability which is why you'll want to install the correct driver.
