For the beginners in need of assistance, first take a look at this recommended guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide - maybe it helps to solve the issues your are having with this version of the driver.

The result of updating the grub configuration with grub-mkconfig is unpredictable for multi-boot. On the other hand, it is probable not recommended for beginners to add entries to /etc/grub.d/40_custom or directly to grub.cfg. I don't use grub-mkconfig, adding the entries "nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1" to grub.cfg solved the 3D performance issue. I never needed these entries before. I am not sure if the early loading of the modules is needed or may cause more trouble.

korvahannu has a guide on github.com that includes the boot parameters and uses yay to install the package korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide: A repository that holds a simple guide on how you can install and configure proprietary NVIDIA drivers for Arch Linux.

Works like a charm on a GTX 670 with both 6.12 and 6.13.

I'd propose to pin the comment about the GRUB boot option, I didn't follow the discussion here and it took me some time to figure out that the boot option is the root of my problems (which are now solved).

Thanks for the continuing packaging! :-)

I solved it by installing an older kernel

6.1.12-arch1-1, the most similar to the one that comes with

Debian, since the 470xx works perfectly on Debian

If the hardware is old, a new kernel is not worth it

It will not add anything to the old hardware

It is understood that it is not a problem with anything else

Neither the kernel nor arch, just that these boards

are old and we have to accept it

working good here

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 I have set options for: /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= "... nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1" /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm) i also have /etc/X11/xorg.conf that was generated in the past using nvidia-setting

tested with: nvidia-smi, War Thunder,cs 2, space engineers, and vintage story I have noted that now I´m able to open nvidia-setting(I wasn´t able to in previous versions)

Thank you SoftExpert, Joan and all the other contributors.

I think it is unrelated but some (vs)mods have had errors loading mono(harmony)shared libraries after full update(just sharing the information in case it became relevant in the future)

My Lenovo Z500 with a GT 645M seems to work okay, at least as far as vkcube and nvidia-smi are concerned. H264 decoding is also okay with prime-run mpv --hwdec=nvdec.

Keep in mind that Xorg runs on the Intel GPU in this setup.

@all: we are in uncharted waters; the patches we have been so fortunate to receive are just allowing the compiler to finish building the module, but the underlying changes in the kernel will eventually break the compatibility with this version of the driver (different logic, different thread handling, different data structure, etc.).

Also, if I'm not mistaken, this package has never supplied xorg.conf files - for the simple reason that there are too many combinations of parameters that are hardware-specific.

We will try to find the most common options that will work for most of us, but this is not a guarantee ...

It seems that automatic detection of the nvidia driver by Xorg failed because /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf is missing from nvidia-470xx-utils, based on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2160060#p2160060
