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.

    Yeah looks very much like nvidia is exclusive at the top even at the price I’m looking at.

    The RTX4060 looks about right price vs performance. I’ll spend some time looking up how well they play with linux atm. And keep an eye out for a used RTX4070 as well.

      I have an AMD Cpu and a 4070 running Kinoite, installed the usual Fedora drivers via rpm-ostree and aside of some weirdness sometimes with sleep mode (I think it can’t go to sleep when Vorta does a backup amd then hamgs the whole system …) and a few crashes in Jellyfin playing HEVC videos it’s super smooth
