I've never used any driver removal software and have never had a problem. |

Given the fact that the OP is switching to an ATI card, I strongly disagree with the above two statements. I'm 100% sure any experienced video card reviewer will agree.
To the OP - most people would suggest something like DriverSweeper.

I personally just use Ccleaner uninstall+registry cleaner, but for switching to/from ATI I usually reformat to avoid issues.
