I referred to this link but could not follow instructions. I understand that this card if probably outdated and will be difficult to find support. However, can someone please give me a workaround with commands? I am not a beginner but not a pro user either who can figure things out either.
PS- I posted this as well, and the solution provided then worked like a charm. Not anymore though.
The package has been updated since then.

It looks like it worked.
backing up some files before rebooting. Just in case…
Will report back, if it works out. Thank you so much for prompt response
After login screen, there is a black screen with just the cursor visible. Rebooted twice. Any idea what could be tried?
AUR page only show issue with suspend/sleep/hibernate https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-470xx-dkms
But is this a new install ? you do have DRM modesetting in your bootloader options?
In case you can sens me the boot log in a P.M. so i can have a look:
journalctl -b -0 | eos-sendlog will show i short URL in case write it down or make a photo…
I encountered this when I tried to use Wayland with HDR active. Might either of these things be true in your case?

just updated…
yes this is a new install. After it went dark, I have installed the whole OS again. I haven’t done anything other than running the command above…
so try to add drm modesetting option on boot:
sudo nano /etc/kernel/cmdline
nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the one line inside the file (adding it not replacing anything)
adding modesetting option to systemd-boot installs
and rebuild kernel images:
sudo reinstall-kernels
I chose grub while installing. This should be done even with that? Sorry for the dumb question.
With grub, you add it to /etc/default/grub on the line with the other kernel options and then run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Did these ( modeset and the command thereafter) but not the reinstall-kernels. Still the same result. Black screen with mouse cursor
Using wayland yes. No HDR as far as I know…
Also, just found out: X11 works! Not wayland but X11 does with nvidia drivers.
to change configuration and rebuild grub.cfg and kernel boot images :
adding nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the kernel parameter inside grub:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and put nvidia-drm.modeset=1 inside (leave the rest untouched!!) as you can see here:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nvidia-drm.modeset=1 resume=UUID=...
save the file [Ctrl+X] and rebuild the grub.cfg:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo rebuild-dracut sudo dracut-rebuild
Without this set wayland is not working.
Rebuild-dracut gives a " command not found error".
What should I do?
its … sudo dracut-rebuild i bet

Thank you. It went through. But the result was a black screen with mouse pointer.
Maybe some problem with Wayland because X11 seems to be working with drivers
