I have installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers via the Additional Drivers. If I want to stop using the Nvidia drivers do I just disable them in Additional Drivers or do I have to reinstall the Nouveau drivers in Muon?
The Nouveau driver is in the kernel and will load even if you don't have xserver-xorg-video-nouveau installed.

If you diable the NVidia driver and then uninstall it when you boot up the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver will be loaded by Plymounth. If that package has also been deleted then Plymouth will you the Nouveau driver embedded in the kernel. After you change to the new video card just reboot and see how the Nouveau performs. In my situation I found that I got better performance than with the Bumblebee/optimus Nvidia driver, so I removed Bumblebee.
If it turns out that Nouveau isn't working up to your expectations then install the binary from Nvidia that is recommended for your new card and activate it in the "Additional Drivers".
