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.

    Is there a particular reason for ditching the 3080? I have the laptop 16 GB Ti version and have thought about getting the desktop version to do split AI loads.

      Too many driver issues, couldn’t get Wayland working despite new drivers supposedly working with it.
