- Installing a new graphics card is a vital process that can help improve the performance of your computer.

- Before starting the installation process, disconnect all power cables and then take safety precautions when removing or installing any components.
- Remove the screws holding the old graphics card to the PCI Express backplate before releasing the clip and lifting it out of the PCIe slot carefully.
- Next, look at your new graphics card and remove an extra backplate or two if there isn't enough space in the PCIe backing plate.
- To install the new graphics card, slot it into the PCIe slot, making sure that the PCIe clip is open, and use a screwdriver to screw it in place.
- Connect the appropriate power cables in the corresponding slots at the end of your new GPU.
- Before putting your whole PC together and plugging everything in, plug in the power cable, your keyboard and mouse, and a single monitor video cable to see if it works.
