Planning to upgrade GPU from Nvidia to AMD. Any pitfalls I should know about? (reddthat.com)

I'm running CachyOS, and having an Nvidia card, I'm using their Nvidia-specific kernel. I know this 3060 won't last forever, and I'm planning to upgrade to an AMD card for a better overall experience.

Is there anything I should be aware of regarding the kernel or other compatibility when switching brands? Can I simply plug in the new one and run pacman -Syu?

Sidenote: I will plan around my PSU's output, so no need to advise regarding physical compatibility.
