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.

    Yes, I unfortunately need the proprietary drivers. Unless the open source ones have gotten a whole lot better in the 4-5 years I’ve been using Linux on my desktop. I really hope AMD steps up their game because their cards are just worse performance wise.

      Good news!

      They’re not perfect, but they are a lot better. Worst case just change it post install when you know nothing funky will happen.

        Thanks! I’ll give the foss drivers a try. I doubt I’ll stick with them but I’d love to be wrong.
