You could reformat, but it's not at all necessary. If you follow the directions that come with the card and load the correct drivers, there should be no need to format the hard drive.

If you really want to, you can. But there's no real reason to.

TIP: Set your resolution to the lowest setting before removing the old card.

Newer Video Games have more detailed and more realistic graphics than the early video games (e.g. many early video games used very simple line/dot graphics, the latest video games have near movie quality graphics and some even use 3D goggles to add depth to the experience).
