How make nvidia-open-dkms works with garuda-nvidia-config?

I don’t know how to make the two things work together, and my gpu is rtx 5070ti mobile, it can’t support nvidia-dkms and only support nvidia-open-dkms, but i still want to use garuda’s config like garuda-nvidia-config and garuda-nvidia-prime-config, what should i do ?

Hi there, welcome to the forum.
garuda-nvidia-config is a meta-package, so it does not contain actual drivers, but pulls in other packages via dependencies, including nvidia-dkms.
So, you could remove that package without dependecies:

sudo pacman -R garuda-nvidia-config

then install the driver you need, e.g.

sudo pacman -S nvidia-open-dkms

which should be able to replace nvidia-dkms without conflicts.
I don’t know if there are other dkms packages to be removed/replaced because I don’t use Nvidia, but this should be the logic…

If you have a nvidia prime system, try instead as a first step:

sudo pacman -R garuda-nvidia-prime-config garuda-nvidia-config
