Auto Install Proprietary drivers missing from Settings manager | RTX3080

Hello team I did a full upgrade (thru Garuda assistant) 2 days ago evening and today when checking in Garuda Settings manager > Hardware configuration I see that the option “Auto Install Proprietary drivers” is missing.

What is even stranger nvidia drivers are installed as I can run nvidia-smi as well Nvidia X server settings.

Do you know what could be the cause of this?

Just specific Nvidia cards are not caught by more automatic means (like with the Garuda’s Hardware Configurator). There are a few examples of this on the forum. I would not worry about it too much as you already have the drivers in use (as seen in your garuda-inxi).
Here is another example of a certain card I’ve seen with this issue:

Hello Kayo,

I wasn’t sure if this is normal or whats going, cause I know before I had that “Auto install proprietary in the menu” and it was for the same GPU (no HW swap or reinstall or anything).

Many thanks you could confirm all is good. And myself as well can confirm playing games works just fine.

Regards,
S.
