I'm currently on EndeavourOS that i set up like a week ago and I'm using a 4070 currently, I'm really new to Linux I used mint for about two months and just swapped over to EndeavourOS, but I wanted to know the proper way to swap over to the AMD card some people are saying I need to remove the Nvidia drivers and the add AMDs drivers then swap or others are saying just drop it in and then last is I have to reinstall the os, what is the proper way to do my upgrade? Thanks in advance sorry for the formatting

Don't do it, stay with Nvidia.

Why do you regret it? I'm currently using a 2080 but I'm thinking of upgrading to a 9070 XT when I can get hold of one

Like I said I just got my card but even coming a 4070 I enjoy this card a lot, it's just raw power and in my opinion it makes everything run so much smoother even in games like cyberpunk where my fps isnt that drastically different as I didn't use ray tracing before anyway and if you do end up with one a cool thing to note I haven't tinkered much but I immediately dropped 50 watts off the card and it's performing the same as it did with all 300 something watts
