RTX 5060 Ti Driver update

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
,
1

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing well!

I recently decided to install garuda, coming from window 10.
I uninstalled all the nvidia drivers i could and tried to install the latest beta version (575.51.02-2) as the RTX 5060 Ti is not supported in 570.144-3, but i encountered a lot of issues, dependencies problems etc…

Moreover, if the linux-firmware is not version 20250210.5bc5868b-1, my wifi won’t work.
So i did

garuda-update -- --ignore linux-firmware

Do you have any tutorial to install properly the latest beta driver please? I tried with youtube videos, reddit posts even gemini without much success. Thanks in advance

pacman -Q | grep nvidia gives:

garuda-nvidia-config 2:1.1.6-1.1
garuda-nvidia-prime-config 2:1.1.6-1.1

nvidia-prime 1.0-5
nvidia-settings 570.144-1
nvidia-utils 570.144-3

here is the Yay output of the beta driver:

First..pls bios update
Download the latest bios file from the msi website (AMI BIOS 7E56v2A6 2025-05-1314.46 MB)

then deinstall over konsole the nvidia stuff.

sudo pacman -R garuda-nvidia-config nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia libxnvctrl lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia garuda-nvidia-prime-config gwe python-py3nvml

install the aur packages from nvidia

paru -S nvidia-open-beta-dkms lib32-nvidia-utils-beta lib32-opencl-nvidia-beta nvidia-settings-beta opencl-nvidia-beta nvidia-utils-beta

Reboot and post your inxi again.
@ nepti
i don`t know about the nvidia prime stuff. Is this function with the beta driver from aur ?

This is not helpful, not all packages are listed. Use:

pacman -Qs nvidia

to list all packages.

You must first remove the existing nvidia drivers. Since you obviously have the garuda-nvidia-prime-config metapackage installed, this would normally be the correct command:

sudo pacman -R garuda-nvidia-prime-config garuda-nvidia-config nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-utilsopencl-nvidia libxnvctrl lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia gwe nvidia-prime python-py3nvml

(If there are problems removing the old drivers, post the error messages and the output of pacman -Qs nvidia).

Then reboot and install the beta drivers from the AUR:

paru -S nvidia-open-beta-dkms

and reboot afterwards.

Edit: @gampel lol, you were a second faster. :grin:
nvidia-prime should work with the beta drivers, as this is obviously not linked to a specific driver version (just like the egl stuff).
paru -S nvidia-open-beta-dkms should be sufficient, as all missing dependencies will be installed as well.

btw: wenn du mich anpingen willst, dann lass gefälligst das Leerzeichen weg, sonst kommt bei mir nix an. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

On my system only this was not enough..the lib32 packages were missing.

Ich war off 3h..sorry..lol)

Hello ! Thank you very much for your answers ! I’ll do it once i’ll manage to solve the wifi issue, which happened before my BIOS update.

Somehow, i lost the wifi and I decided to reinstall Garuda, as I remember it managed to see the wifi available right after the installation … Except this time.

Still, thank you very much for your patience and your advices!

Have a good day

Edit: i am still wondering how the wifi problem arrived because i’ve just reinstalled the original garuda image which had no wifi problem :melting_face:

If you reinstall Garuda, then simply skip the nvidia drivers offered during the initial setup after the first reboot. Instead, install the beta drivers from the AUR manually, as @gampel has already written:

This saves you having to remove the incorrectly installed nvidia drivers. Please remember that you should use garuda-update -a to update the AUR packages during a system update.

For your WiFi issue, have a look here:

Hi Nepti ! Thank you very much, l’ll restart with a fresh install this weekend.

have a good day !

(Again, another reason to switch to linux: windows 10 don’t support wifi7 and windows 11 is out of question :grin:)

I just picked up a new laptop with a 5060 Graphics Cards. So I’m following these steps, but did they end up working for you?
