RMAing my 7900 XTX for a different model. Do I need to reinstall drivers?

Not adding the troubleshooting form because this question is pretty specific to a single piece in my build.

I have an Asrock Phantom Gaming 7900 XTX. Hotspot temps suck at stock settings, so the place that built it for me is going to RMA the card and then swap it out for a Sapphire Nitro+.

My only question is do I need to reinstall drivers or windows after swapping out the card? I know it's different manufacturers but technically still the same card. My assumption is that the same drivers should work because I've never seen different drivers for variants of the same card.

Appreciate any advice! Thanks.

No need to reinstall drivers/software, only adjustment needed is reset to default if any custom tuning (clocks, voltages, fan speed, etc.) was done for previous card.
