Switching out nVidia GPU for AMD GPU

Yes, just remove the xorg configuration file for nvidia at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, shutdown, replace the gpu, boot it. Now this outputclass take action:

$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf 
Section "OutputClass"
	Identifier "AMDgpu"
	MatchDriver "amdgpu"
	Driver "amdgpu"
	Option "HotplugDriver" "amdgpu"
EndSection

Finally, you can remove the nvidia module completely if you wish.
