Can I "hotswap" different models of the same graphics card?

Browsing on eBay, I've found an amazing deal for a two r9 280xs, a vapour-x and an msi gaming. I only want one, but want to try both out for temps and noise. I currently have a 7970, so can I just pull it out and stick another in without worrying about drivers? And if not, can I do that with the 280xs?
Thanks

Yes, if you open the drivers package from AMD it actually shows a long list of graphics cards it supports. The ones you have installed for the HD7979 are the same as for the R9280x.

Yes it will work.
(Just a heads up the Vapor-X should run cooler)
