Use DDU to remove the old drivers and install new ones.

Got a 6800xt on the way to replace my Vega 64, do I need to uninstall the drivers and reinstall when the new card is in or should it all just work?

Usually safest to just install new drivers once you install the new card, as it minimizes potential headaches. As stated earlier, you can use DDU to remove the old one. 

MAIN SYSTEM: Intel i9 10850K | 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR4-3600C16 | RTX 3070 FE | MSI Z490 Gaming Carbon WIFI | Corsair H100i Pro 240mm AIO | 500GB Samsung 850 Evo + 500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSDs | EVGA SuperNova 850 P2 | Fractal Design Meshify C | Razer Cynosa V2 | Corsair Scimitar Elite | Gigabyte G27Q

DDU has a "Clean and Shutdown" for exactly this purpose. When its shutdown, swap the cards, boot back up and install the latest drivers for the new card.
