Depends on who you ask. Some say you should do a clean driver wipe, others say to go ahead with the install. It's really up to you and what you feel comfortable with.|

Personally, the determation can be made by a simple cross check.
- Upgrading From Nvidia to AMD/ATI: Driver wipe
- Downgrading from AMD/ATi to Nvidia: Driver wipe
- Crossgrading from Nvidia to Nvidia: don't bother
- Upgrading from AMD/ATi to AMD/ATi: don't bother
- Upgrading from Intel to AMD/ATi: Driver Wipe
- Crossgrading from Intel to Nvidia: Driver Wipe
- Upgrading from Sis, Via/S3, XGI, Matrox to anything else: wipe the drivers.

You forgot about the "upgrading from ati to nvidia" or the "sticking with the best and getting another nvidia card" options.
