Swapping out my Nvida card for AMD. Anything I should know about before hand?

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.

    I've heard NVidia is better for AI

    For gaming, you'll probably not notice a difference. If anything, you'll be happy due to not having to wrestle NVidia Linux Drivers :P
