Hi,
I have a gtx770, using proprietary drivers (470xx)
I finally bit the bullet and bought a Radeon 6600 xt.
My motherboard does not have any onboard graphics, so I expect that if I do things wrong I will just be looking at a black screen. Can someone tell me what I need to to to make sure the new card boots properly?
I think you are more likely to run into issues if you don’t first remove the proprietary driver. So what I would do is uninstall the nvidia driver (I would use Manjaro Setting Manger - Hardware Configuration) (uninstall cuda first if you have that) also I cannot remember if hardware configuration will uninstall opencl-nvidia and lib32-opencl-nvidia, if they are still installed after removing the driver, then you’ll want to uninstall them too, shutdown, unplug, change GPU’s, plugin, boot.
I haven’t switched GPU cards in many years but I seem to remember not having any difficulties.
The problem with this is that my motherboard (also kinda new) doesn’t have onboard graphics, so I don’t think I can open a tty. My old motherboard had vesa so I could do that the last time I switched GPUs.
