I’m running CachyOS, and having an Nvidia card, I’m using their Nvidia-specific kernel. I know this 3060 won’t last forever, and I’m planning to upgrade to an AMD card for a better overall experience.

Is there anything I should be aware of regarding the kernel or other compatibility when switching brands? Can I simply plug in the new one and run pacman -Syu?

Sidenote: I will plan around my PSU’s output, so no need to advise regarding physical compatibility.

    If you get a 9070xt and want to avoid the 12vhpwr cable, look into XFX cards. Sapphire is a good brand but they use it.

    I have one from Sapphire and it’s been good so far though🤞

    I know that’s not what you asked about but I think it may be relevant to others if not to you
