    Nice upgrade!

    You need to do a Clean Video Driver Installation.

    Also, you can use driver fusion to clean up your registry to make sure you leave no traces of the nvidia driver.

    You shouldn't have any problems with this, just be sure to keep an eye on the temperatures as the 6990m expels more heat than the 560m.
