Testing Open Souce and Nvidia Drivers after installation

I’m not an Nvidia user, but, given for granted that the kernel (nouveau) driver works (most likely with worse performance than the proprietary driver), that proprietary driver 535.xx is available only in the AUR repository (so it will not be installed by the Garuda tool, you’ll have to do it manually after system installation and update).
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-535xx-dkms
The current version (535.129.03) is the same proposed for your model by the NVIDIA’s driver download site.
You can install it with:

paru nvidia-535xx-dkms nvidia-535xx-utils

You’ll be presented with a preview of the PKGBUILD, that you can quit with button q and confirm installation.
If it works, you’d better ask here to add it to the Chaotic-AUR repo, so, after reinstalling it from there, you won’t have to rebuild it at every update.
