I hate to break it to you (@ricklinux ) but the Bios update might have fixed the driver issue…  
And im currently in plasma…

> [mixel@mixel-ms7a33 ~]$ pacman -Q | grep nvidia  
> nvidia 495.44-2  
> nvidia-dkms 495.44-3  
> nvidia-hook 1.0-1  
> nvidia-installer-db 2.5.1-2  
> nvidia-installer-dkms 3.3.11-1  
> nvidia-settings 495.44-1  
> nvidia-utils 495.44-3  
> opencl-nvidia 495.44-3

I dont know if this is a one time thing but I hope not

Yes right now it is.  
I hope that it stays like this  
I also ran `inxi -Ga`

```auto

You can install the following and then run inxi -Ga again.

```auto
sudo pacman -S xorg-xdpyinfo 

```

Perfect! So i didn’t know your UEFI Bios was so far behind but I’ve been looking at a lot of stuff because it didn’t make any sense to me. I have the exact same card and mine works. I’m a hardware guy and i don’t know a lot of the software bash terminal stuff that a lot of users or devs know. I’m not a programmer. I just know how things are supposed to work. I do my best with what i know and what i learn. I didn’t want to guarantee that a Bios update would fix this but it looks like that was what was needed. So keep an eye on the latest Bios that is in Beta. It will eventually become final and you could update it again at that time. Welcome to EndeavourOS! I hope your journey has provided you with some new skills. Nice working with you!

Could you now post another boot log for @joekamprad & @manuel

I hope it will stay like that!  
I hope you wont be mad for me for not pointing that out 😅

I will definitely keep an eye out for the beta version once it becomes stable.  
I really had a welcoming time here so thank you all for that!!

The log:

I think will not get back to the bot who welcomed me so he isn’t heartbroken anymore 😅

Thanks for your patience. Also as @joekamprad said the other optional enhancements we added may not be necessary and i don’t have them enabled on my system. But, it is working with them so i wouldn’t worry about it at this point in time. I also had them set up before but since i wiped my system and reinstalled i hadn’t gotten around to adding them. I’m not worried about it either way. It works so it’s not a problem. I also have some other systems for others on Nvidia that have the enhancements and no issues either.

@manuel @ricklinux Worked without any issues!!  
And it felt faster 👏  
Also I didnt had this “Watchdog is still running” [_issue_] and everything went smooth  
`inxi -Ga` is still printing 495xx version so I think we fixed it

I also know there are some games issue on steam with these drivers so you’ll have to kind of follow that on those platforms.

Okay …lutrus which is another platform. 😉

Edit: Could be the games themselves too that need updating for these drivers.
