Your video card is an RTX 2060 which is supported by the latest Nvidia driver. If you are game to try this then i will write it out. First of all run the installer in test mode and see if gets any errors. This will not make any changes or install the drivers. It is just a test simulation.
sudo nvidia-installer-dkms -t
If there are no errors then you can go ahead and install the Nvidia drivers but do not reboot. We will add the enhancements first.
sudo nvidia-installer-dkms
After installing the Nvidia drivers and when it is completely finished use nano to edit these files.
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Add this to the default grub command line after quiet.
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
To save the file
ctrl + o then enter
To exit nano
ctrl + x
Then update grub
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Now force early load KMS
sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Add to MODULES=
MODULES="nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm"
To save the file
ctrl + o then enter
To exit nano
ctrl + x
Then rebuild the modules with
sudo mkinitcpio -P
Add enhancements for screen tearing
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
Make sure the file has all of this in it.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia Card"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "nvidia"
Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
Option "TripleBuffer" "on"
Option "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "off"
EndSection
To save the file
ctrl + o then enter
To exit nano
ctrl + x
Install the nvidia-hook package
sudo pacman -S nvidia-hook
Then reboot
Edit: I’m suggesting this since you already have the drivers uninstalled and running on nouveau. Well see if it works.
I just updated and had the Nvidia drivers and no issue on a GTX 1060.

From my pacman log:
[2021-12-14T00:21:07-0500] [ALPM] upgraded nvidia-utils (495.44-6 -> 495.46-1)
[2021-12-14T00:21:07-0500] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] If you run into trouble with CUDA not being available, run nvidia-modprobe first.
[2021-12-14T00:21:07-0500] [ALPM] upgraded mesa (21.2.5-1 -> 21.3.1-1)
[2021-12-14T00:21:09-0500] [ALPM] upgraded nvidia-dkms (495.44-6 -> 495.46-1)
Have you done that?
I followed your instructions exactly.
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
was already in the quiet line of /etc/defaultgrub; I didn’t change it.
Rebooted and I still can’t log in to MATE.
In the mean time you can boot into “safe graphics mode” by replacing that same line with just “nomodeset” (without quotes) and then press Ctrl + X to reboot.
Well I’m surprised on one hand and not on the other when it comes to Nvidia. But yet, i don’t seem to have these issues with my card? I guess roll back the three updates if you can using downgrade and see if that works.
Did that, and now it’s stuck at the “Starting version 249.7-2-arch” screen.
This is getting old.
I don’t have xnvctrl on my system.
Edit: I didn’t also have nvidia-settings installed but i just installed it all and no issue so far.

You need to force the rebuild of the DKMS Modules from nvidia:
Posted it here already.
Well, tried to reinstall and got a formatting error for sda2, my root partition, from the installer and from Gparted. Ordered a new SSD and hope it’s just bad hardware.
Is all of this needed? I have installed EndeavourOS a while ago (and selected “EnedavourOS NVIDIA” on the ISO at that time) for my GTX 1060 and everything has worked since then… Should I still follow those steps?
Also do I need to add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 nowatchdog" - I can’t find the quiet in my grub.cfg.
Thank you for your help.
No. normally no.
If you have now problem to start your desktop, try first to rebuild the modules.
Thank you. No luckily I don’t have a problem after the latest update. I was just interested in this thread.
I’m not an expert on this and I don’t know exactly what is causing the issue. Sometimes the kernel modules fail to rebuild. Sometimes the system will not load the proper driver and will be running on mesa instead of the card. Not everyone has the same hardware. Some people have laptops with hybrid graphics which is more difficult and sometimes a different issue. Also not everyone has their Nvidia install set up the same. So you have to take each on an individual basis because not everyone is having the issue or having the same issue. Yes of course a lot of people could have the same issue too. Sometimes this happens when nvidia drivers get updated and somethings don’t. If you don’t have any issue then don’t worry too much about it until you do. I can only try to help but I’m not always able to or not always right. I have to guess and use my own judgement sometimes. I do have a GTX 1060 and I’m not having this issue at least right now. 
Some people have the enhancements set up which i guess is more for Hybrid graphics yet i use them also. I don’t have too many issues.
