minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•4 months ago Like literally pull my disk out of a gaming nvidia machine, and plug it into my AMD machine with full working graphics. This should work already, i switched from nvidia to amd this year by swapping the cards and removing the nvidia drivers some time later. I guess it’s because the drivers only apply to their specific hardware, so no problems having amd and nvidia drivers present at the same time.
