Hey all,Below you can find the news draft for the changes in the new 590 Driver. You can also find an explanation in this commit: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/nvidia-utils/-/commit/cc7ae772aec0b147f75c0aa4e148f1d97f2c1848
With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older. We will replace the `nvidia` package with `nvidia-open`, `nvidia-dkms` with `nvidia-open-dkms`, and `nvidia-lts` with `nvidia-lts-open`.
**Impact:** Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.
**Intervention required for Pascal/older users:** Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to the legacy proprietary branch to maintain support:
* Uninstall the official `nvidia`, `nvidia-lts`, or `nvidia-dkms` packages. * Install `nvidia-580xx-dkms` from the AURUsers with Turing (20xx and GTX 1650 series) and newer GPUs will automatically transition to the open kernel modules on upgrade and require no manual intervention.
Best regards, Peter
