I have IR1 visa, Should I apply EAD card or my immigrant visa is enough,

Thanks

No EAD needed. You will have permanent residence upon entry. Your passport will be stamped to indicate your U.S. residence at the POE. The stamp can be used until you get the actual permanent residence card about a month later.

Your I-551 stamp in your passport is good enough for the I-9 you'd have to fill to start employment. Technically, you're good to go, but you may always want to get a Social Security Number, although this is not required to have a job. You will need one to pay taxes though.
