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

If I'm paying $2k+ for a card, I want to be able to fully utilize it, and not just for the occasional bit of gaming.

CUDA has far more support than ROCm for a variety of things, from 3D render/design applications to AI powered tools. Nothing sucks more than coming across a nifty app or tool and finding out you can't use it because you chose the wrong GPU.

Ah fair enough, I have heard that's an issue but I can't really see it being a problem for me as I will basically just be using it for gaming
