Need help/advice before changing graphics card

I am planning on swapping out my graphics card and am looking for some advice on how best to go about it.

Right now I have a Nvidia RTX 3060 ti and it was working just fine with the proprietary drivers until they were updated to 535 through the pop shop and now it seems to have kind of broken modded minecraft, which I play a lot of.

I am thinking of switching to a AMD Radeon RX 6700XT and am wondering if anyone has any experience with one of these cards while running Pop OS, does it perform well, are the drivers decent?

If I do decide to swap, how do I go about removing the nvidia drivers and installing the amd drivers without breaking anything?

My current pc specs: Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk Wifi CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Memory: 32GB DDR5 Corsair Storage: 2 Samsung 970 EVO 1TB Nvme drives Graphics: Nvidia 3060 ti 650 watt PSU

You can remove all NVIDIA packages with sudo apt purge ~nnvidia. It doesn’t matter when you remove them.
