I have a laptop and I am running on one partition ubuntu (tuxedo OS) and on another partition manjaro. As manjaro works nicer in my case I wanna keep that partition and get rid of the other one, but there is one problem: Davinci Resolve works great on ubuntum but not on Manjaro. And I am guessing it is the graphics driver. I can run davinci resolve but it does not show any images. It plays back sounds through, weird enough. Sometimes i get a message “render cage full” even with no video files in it.
my graphics card is:

on ubuntu i run driver version nvidia ubuntu 560.35.03
I dont know how I can upgrade the driver in Manjaro, I see the options in the manjaro settings manager, but I dont know how I would choose a specific driver.
Any help would be great appreciated!

Hello and welcome,
Thank you for providing mhwd output.
inxi -Farz
That way we would know more about the system.
So you have a hybrid system.prime-run (AKA - on the nvidia)?
You have options available in mhwd and/or manjaro-settings-manager GUI to be on either of the following;video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-primevideo-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-primenvidia and the legacy nvidia-470 respectively. With the latest nvidia on Stable branch being version 550.144.03-1.
In order to get a newer nvidia driver you must either wait for updates to come to Stable branch or switch to Unstable where the latest nvidia version is currently 565.77-8.

and yes, I am running on prime run on Nvidia.
The switching does not really work flawlessly from Nvidia to intel, so I just stick to that.

What does this mean?
The way it should work with the correct profile installed, and no other utility at play besides PRIME, is that you already use the intel iGPU for everything by default, only using the nvidia in specific cases where you call it using prime-run.
There should be no problem doing this, or with the rest of your graphics using intel.
Or do you mean things become broken after using prime-run? Or? …
Please tell us how you are launching davinci.
Via the command-line? Custom desktop files? If so what do they contain?
PS.
In case we need to test the state of PRIME;
glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'
prime-run glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'

Ha I think you got me there: On my ubuntu system, there was just a full switch from intel to nvidia and vice versa where I had to reboot. But as you describe it I need to prime-run Davinci Resolve. But What I was doing for now was just clicking on the resolve button!prime-run /opt/resolve/bin/resolve
but had the same problems…
glxinfo | grep ‘renderer string’
prime-run glxinfo | grep ‘renderer string’

My understanding was that this would be the correct approach.
But I also see others have random problems.
With the interplay between these proprietary offerings (both davinci and nvidia) it could be almost anything.
I know there are whole threads out there discussing which exact versions of the nvidia driver is compatible with davinci.
Assuming there are not other problems at play … such as something somehow blocking the nvidia driver under certain circumstances or a breaking configuration or similar … then my suggestions become roughly 2 things;
Wait for updates or jump forward for them by switching branches (Testing, Unstable).
You can also try one of those switcher utilities like you use on ubuntu. My suggestion is probably for envycontrol, though supergfxctl is another option.optimus-manager. It is hot garbage.)
There should not normally be trouble using prime-run but who knows maybe it will work better with the nvidia as the primary GPU.
