Oh, is that still a problem? I thought my GTX 1070TI was having problems in games because Debian ships quite old drivers. But if that happens on Arch, I guess I'm out of luck with that card for Linux 🥲

    I dont know how old your card is, but NVIDIA only recently decided not to be complete gobshite on Linux and newer cards should be safer (from what I've read). AMD has been stable on linux for the last decade or so while NVIDIA (aka NOVIDIO) was a terrible actor on Linux and the community had to reverse engineer a lot of their stuff.

    I think 1070 is a problem with recent drivers as NVIDIA has dropped support in the proprietary drivers and noveau still does not support them well.

    Some have said the 550 series drivers work best for these cards: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/gtx-1070-ubuntu-24-only-550-works/332234
