Guess I’ve gotten lucky, too. Same card as the Reddit OP (1070), only I use XFCE w/xfwm instead of AwesomeWM. Since my system was recently rebuilt, I’m using EOS’s script (from nvidia-installer-dkms) to maintain these drivers. Could that possibly be the reason?
at the end of kernel line, there is a nvidia-drm.modeset=1, should I replace it with a single 3? or just remove the nvidia-drm, leave modeset and use modeset=3?

Old GPU run well, then I’ll just leave out the “new” computer 
, we have to save electricity in Germany anyway

i think not … nvidia-drm.modeset=1 or =0 on and of…
remove all the complete option nvidia-drm.modeset=1 and ad 3 (alone) to the line instead.

Do all EOS+nvidia with proprietary drivers end up with nvidia-dkms instead of just the nvidia driver?
Weird—I’m running a 3060 Ti without the problem…I’m using the Zen Kernel…anyone else running Zen & have the problem?
I am really struggling with this:
- Downgraded to 515.65
- Rebuilt my mkinitcpio
- Rebuilt grub (just in case)
I was getting kernel panics at one point, had to chroot in and sort it out. Luckily the iGPU works. Am at work. so limited to the info I can provide, but it is a Lenovo Legion 5 with a RTX3070/AMD iGPU.
TBH I have been using the iGPU on Wayland, only tried the RTX after reading this thread 
Any ideas? Can supply further info after work…
Did you downgrade just the nvidia driver or nvidia-utils? How about the kernel?
Yes, but didn’t downgrade kernel, must have missed that bit. Will check my cache as I can’t (easily) use the LTS kernel due to missing WIFI driver. (After Work!!)
Hopefully that helps you. I ended up downgrading everything back to September 21 and all was good.
Got hit by this today as well, but luckily I had my LTS kernel installed in parallel. Came here, saw and downgraded the nvidia stuff and back in business

Do you know if it was nvidia 515.76-2 or 515.76-3? Im curious if the 515.76-3 does the same thing.
v2 or v3 not available yet?
My apologies, I thought they would be available as they are in the arch repos.
Maybe in testing? But that is the Arch Repos in the screen shot.
amd + rtx 3060 with linux-zen
nvidia-dkms 515.76-1
no problems here yet
Odd… this is what nvidia comes up with in the arch search.
It’s been this one
nvidia-dkms-515.76-1
and nvidia-dkms-515.76-2 isn’t offered to me yet?
Edit:
This morning my laptop didn’t boot up again? Maybe I accidentally booted into LTS last night. Anyway, downgrading the kernel fixed that one.
Got another crash when starting dual monitor which is most likely because I didn’t yet downgrade bbswitch. :-/
But that’s for later as I need to get some work done first…
…or may just stop upgrading until this is fixed. (Hands trembling, cold sweat, must not upgrade, must not upgrade )
Same here, I am going by what yay/downgrade (downgrade also shows all available packages) displays.
1 extra/nvidia-dkms 515.76-1 (29.8 MiB 52.5 MiB) (Installed: 515.65.01-1)

Let me update my mirrors, nope still the same.
