@gamerlord

driver: nvidia
v: 545.29.06

@gamerlord

so i want to remove the current nvidia driver and install the 545.29.02

You have 545.29.06 installed, but you want 545.29.02 installed instead. Is that right?

@gamerlord

i have the .run file installed from nvidia’s website

I hope you mean “downloaded”, not “installed”. If you mean downloaded, just go ahead and delete it out of your downloads.

NVIDIA - ArchWiki

Warning: Avoid installing the NVIDIA driver through the package provided from the NVIDIA website. Installation through pacman allows upgrading the driver together with the rest of the system.

i searched for the driver on octopi and didn’t find it
so how do i get it then

[gamerlord]

or at least i want to use igpu instead of the dgpu since nvidia isnt supported by wayland

[gamerlord]

also i wanna add thats x11 isnt smooth and feels like not running on 60 fps all the time
