It’s a kepler card - you need the 470 drivers (I think)!

This is because your card is not supported by the current nvidia drivers. You need to install the 470.xx version. Did you uninstall the drivers you attempted to install?
You need to run this command and see what it shows. I know it’s the 470.xx version which are in the AUR. But please run this to verify what it shows.

You may need to install the package first.
yay -S nvidia-inst
Then run
nvidia-inst --drivers

Series 470: supported (nvidia.com: 470.199.02)
NOTE: nvidia-inst does not support series 470. You can install the driver using ‘yay’.
It’s already installed by the looks of it.
Edit: Okay i see you ran it. So you need to install the nvidia 470.xx version from the AUR
Not sure if you need the 32 bit library files.
yay -S nvidia-470xx-dkms nvidia-470xx-settings nvidia-470xx-utils
Command
nvidia-inst -t
should show the commands needed.
Note that there might be other requirements depending on your hardware.
Command
inxi -Gza
shows the graphics hardware.
thank you all for being patient with me.
nvidia-inst -t
fixed everything
Thanks again 
Was it the 470.xx AUR drivers you needed? What commands were different?
