So i just acquired a second hand GPU
Still an Nvidia like my previous one, but im going form a GTX 960 to a Founders Ed 1060 (6gb)
I know i have to uninstall drivers, then reinstall with the new card, anything i need to do to F@H?
Obviously going to wait until current WU finishes so it doesnt effect the computations
Ps this is Windows 10, in case that effects the instructions
Upgrading GPU, anything i need to do?

It sounds to me like you are all ready!

The FINISH function is great to clear out the active WU, There's a chance that your current WU would continue after the hardware change and driver update, but I wouldn't risk it.

Should work, worst case is that you might need to reinstall the client after an uninstall w/data. Indexes for card location can change after a driver update if the driver code between different generations of cards is sufficiently different.

New graphics card and more RAM, while I was in there with the graphics card.
