How does one go about switching from an AMD GPU to NVIDIA? (lemmy.world)

Can I install the NVIDIA drivers with an AMD GPU plugged in or do I need to do it in tty once the new GPU is installed. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've never had to do it before. I'm using CachyOS which is Arch based.

You can have both installed and it should figure it out. Additionally the kernel drivers should give you a basic GUI too, if you choose to swap the GPU or uninstall AMD before you install the nvidia drivers.
