Changing out a GPU "brand", no driver change?

Hi, I had an ASUS 390x in my PC. If I just stick a Sapphire 390x in there I don't need to do anything RE drivers do I? Literally just plug and play? I think I know the answer but just checking.

Also how does the Sapphire card fair? anyone got any reviews of it?

Also, my ASUS card was 6pin + 8 pin. The sapphire is 2x 8 pin. Will it draw more power if I don't overclock it? I ask because I am very close to my power limit. So wouldn't want the new card to cause me problems like that.

Many thanks as per guys.
 
I would not have thought you would need to do anything regarding the drivers as they are OS based when it comes to what ones you download and not make of GPU.

not too sure about OCing as i never bothered with my 390 nitro i have

Thanks I suspected as much RE drivers. I'm not planning on overclocking (or at least adding power) just wondering if stock the Sapphire will draw more power than the ASUS. as it has 2x 8 pin rather than 6+8 on the ASUS
