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.

@cerberus1746, I’m also getting the GPU has fallen off the bus error, just like in your logs, along with spontaneous reboots on my desktop GTX 770. This happens with any kernel starting from 6.7 and later. I’m sticking with the 6.6 kernel since it's the last version that works flawlessly with this driver (at least for me), and it's still receiving updates until 2026.

While some users report that the driver still works on newer kernels, there’s no guarantee this will remain the case. If you plan to keep using this driver, I’d recommend sticking with an older kernel.

Before anything, the video card works in Windows. It is not dead, the errors might make you think it is, but it isn't. And also nouveau works, but I need vulkan, and vulkan-nouveau does not support my video card, I tried, even with BROKEN_DRIVER flag

Any time I need to use my video card in my optimus laptop the nvidia driver crashes.

The full logs can be found here: https://pastebin.com/xgKUrveJ

The full specs of the computer are here: https://icecat.biz/en/p/dell/w540210in8/inspiron-laptops-14r+-5421-21966017.html

I tried installing the driver 430 but for some reason the driver dkms build fails with the current 6.12.17-1-lts

Following or not this guide makes no difference: https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide

This driver compiles and installs but does not activate 3D support Neither browsers nor software that requires OpenGL work

The module is loaded but programs cannot access 3D

I have been testing this with the LTS kernel I have been using kernel 6.1.0 for a month now.. because the driver works on Debian so I decided to use a kernel that is more similar to the one that Debian 12 has

If changing the kernel works, I don't see that it is a problem with Mesa or the current OpenGL

I had previously mentioned this topic here

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
