Not tried this before but i was wondering it they could be installed with yay. I’m not sure?
I’m just thinking out loud. Not suggesting you try this. I mean normally i can install nvidia using pacman this way but with the current drivers.
yay -S nvidia-510xx-dkms nvidia-510xx-utils nvidia-510xx-settings lib32-nvidia-510xx-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia-510xx
I was using lspci -k to check what driver was loaded, then nvidia-smi to check version.
also xrandr saw both cards and all monitors, and using arandr to configure them, no issues. All screens are working as expected.
this is the last bit, during build it does throw a bunch of deprecated warnings too
rm: cannot remove '/home/scott/.cache/yay/nvidia-510xx-settings/pkg/nvidia-510xx-settings/usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk2.so.510.73.05': No such file or directory

Just F.Y.I
You’ll have to list the nvidia drivers to be ignored for updates since the Quadro card needs the 510.xx series drivers. Otherwise it’s going to update on you and you’ll have the same issue.
Edit: I just checked the Nvidia site and it now shows the 515.xx supports the Quadro P620 card so the issue may be just the newer kernel that others were having issue with also. You may be able to update and have no issue. Up to you if you want to try but maybe wait a while.
When I looked 515 already said they supported both the 1080 and p620, did try a fresh install with 515 last night on another drive and had no luck.
for ‘nvidia-driver-supported-branches -a’
lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -2
NVIDIA card id: 1b80
1cb6
Series 515: supported
Series 515: supported
Series 470: supported
Series 390: supported
More info: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix
Looking at nvidia settings, 1b80 is the 1080 and 1cb6 is the P620.
I will also test the fresh build of the 510xx drivers to test nivida-510xx-settings again later tonight when I get a chance.
Edit: Do I need to flag them to not update? They haven’t updated on any of my system updates, I assumed it was fine since they were AUR packages with 510xx in them instead of the normal packages, or am I wrong?
It is strange that 510 works for you but 515 doesn’t.
Flag nvidia 510 drivers?
I assume you get the 510 drivers from the AUR, right? You should be able to update them normally along with other packages with command
yay
But I’d still double check if the 515 driver (nvidia-dkms) works since it is supported by the Arch team. One thing to check is which nvidia related packages you have installed in your system:
pacman -Qs nvidia
There might be some that don’t really belong there.
