Going from NVIDIA to AMD cards
My old 9800GT died and I decided to buy a R9 270x, but I'm not really sure how to switch drivers the correct way. Do I only remove everything related to NVIDIA, turn off my computer and install the AMD card, then turn my computer back on again and install the AMD driver? http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/d … x%20x86_64
If it ain't broke, you haven't tweaked it enough...

Re: Going from NVIDIA to AMD cards
That's pretty much it, remove nvidia driver and related confs for Xorg.
Driver installation depends on which driver you want, free or proprietary. Both have excellent coverage on Arch wiki.

Re: Going from NVIDIA to AMD cards
I am very happy with my R9 270X using open source drivers playing Dota 2 and Left 4 Dead. I do have trouble with the DisplayPort where the EDID seems to be messed up and I have to manually set the resolution via xrandr, so I keep her hooked up with HDMI. I am hoping for a solution in a new kernel release.
