Depending on which card you had previously, there are tools to remove the drivers completely (that's a hint for you to tell us what it was btw).
Bifta your computer should have picked up the ATI card when you installed it. Therefore the computer then would have started to look for the correct drives to use. It would not have tried using the Nvidia one's believe me. You will have had another problem
