New Nvidia GeForce GT 710 instead AMD Radeon onboard

Hi all,
When I'm browsing through the internet and blogs I have found a lot of threats but they are all special cases and now I will open my own one just to be sure.
I have build up my own desktop with an AMD Ryzen 3 processor coming with an onboar graphic card Radeon Vega 8 GPU. This combination is really pane as I'm suffering under bad tearing and no solution was good for me. Even an entry in 20-amdgpu.conf with 'TearFree' option was not successful for me.
So, I decided to buy a small Nvidia GeForce GT 710 card as from the experience of a lot of Linux users there should be no worries under Linux.

Now, to my question: for sure, there is currently no Nvidia driver installed as my system is still running under this ■■■■■■ onboard graphic chip.
Would it be enough to
a) install the Nvidia driver first
b) boot down the system
c) install the new card on the mainboard
d) plug display/monitor into the new graphic card
e) boot Linux and it should work w/o any black screen etc.?
Or is there anything else I have to take care off?

Thanks so much in advance!
Oliver

Well, as this blog was fallen into sleep I will write down my experience:
a) boot down the system
b) install the graphic card
c) boot linux again
d) linux works fine
e) start 'Additional Hardware'
f) install NVIDIA driver
g) reboot - that's it.
