Expected Behavior
NVidia's 470-series driver (which supports the GTX-730) is installed by default from the AUR, perhaps with a warning about the unfortunate reality of having to source your graphics drivers from the AUR.
Actual Behavior
NVidia's 495-series driver is installed, which boots to a frozen display in graphical mode, with basic framebuffer access available.
Discovered Workaround
paru -Rsu nvidia-{dkms,settings,utils}
paru nvidia 470
then select the dkms, settings, and utils options.
