I just got hold of an AMD RX7800 XT to replace my current Nvidia RTX3080.

I’m likely overthinking this but from what I understand I should just be able to swap the cards then uninstall the Nvidia drivers correct?

I’m running EndeavourOS which I installed with the option to include the Nvidia drivers by default so dunno if that changes anything? I’ve been daily driving Linux for exactly a year as of this month but I still kinda feel like a newbie sometimes lmao. Thanks in advance!

(Update) I got my AMD card installed and loaded up Wayland with no issues, only thing I had to install was the AMD Vulkan drivers for Steam.

    If no one minds my hyjacking part of this thread.

    Id also like some similar advice.

    I use blender. Not heavily but have been playing on it for 20plus years.

    My GPU is pretty old. 1050ti at the time nvidia was pretty much it for blender.

    Im looking for a sub £300 card in the next 3 to 6 months.

    Is AMD well supported by blender now. And what cards would folks recomend these days.

    PS not a gamer. 0ad is about as close as i get.
