is it ok to have multiple gpu drivers installed?

context: I built a living room gaming/vr PC with some spare parts, but with no capable GPU. for a temporary solution until I get a capable one, I figured that if I uninstall the current drivers (GTX 760), then install my main PC's GPU (RTX 3060) the only drivers on that would be the 3060's. but what I didn't realize is that my 3900XT (main PC) doesn't have integrated graphics, so I have to use a spare GPU for an HDMI connection until I can reinstall my main. this solution kinda sucks, but that's not the point. I'm just concerned that when I need to reinstall the 3060 in my main PC to play games at my desk again, would I need to uninstall the other driver beforehand?

Use one. Use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(Intel, AMD and Nvidia) then manually install the latest driver in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
