I'm looking for guidance on how to upgrade my graphics card from an RX 580 to a GTX 1660 Super. What are the necessary steps I should follow to ensure a smooth transition?

First, you'll want to remove your old RX 580 by unscrewing it and disconnecting any power cables. After that, install the GTX 1660 Super in the same slot. Don't forget to plug in the necessary power cables for the new GPU! Once it's all set, boot up your computer and use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely remove the old AMD drivers—this step is optional but recommended on Windows. After that, download and install the latest NVIDIA drivers, and you should be good to go!
Make sure you shut down your computer before making the switch. Unplug it from the PSU for safety, then change the GPU. I also recommend using DDU to remove the old drivers right after you shut down, so you have a clean slate for the new installation. Install the new drivers for the GTX 1660 Super once everything's connected, and you should be set!
