Swapping Nvidia 1080 for AMD Vega 64

I’ve given up waiting for Nvidia’s drivers and I want to be able to upgrade to Mojave and whatever’s next/coming out at WWDC so I bought a Vega 64. My system is currently completely stable and working just fine so I’m a little wary of messing with it but I think I’m ready to troubleshoot.

That said, I’d prefer things go smoothly.

1) To that end, what do I need to do to make the swap successfully? 2) Do I need to change any settings before pulling the 1080? 3) Do I need to do anything after or is it just plug and play? 4) How do I fully backup my system prior to upgrading to Mojave in case something gets screwy?

Thanks! Anyone want a very lightly used 1080? It’s the EVGA FTW version. Only around 8 months old with some mild fortnite gaming. Never mined. PM me.
