How to update to Nvidia beta drivers?

Hi @xenom, and welcome!

Manjaro, itself, doesn’t provide the beta drivers. Not even necessarily all the stable drivers.

However, they are available in the AUR:

$ pamac search --aur nvidia-beta
opencl-nvidia-beta  560.35.03-1                                              AUR
    OpenCL implemention for NVIDIA (beta version)
lib32-opencl-nvidia-beta  560.35.03-1                                        AUR
    OpenCL implemention for NVIDIA (32-bit, beta version)
nvidia-beta-dkms  560.35.03-1                                                AUR
    NVIDIA driver sources for linux (beta version)
nvidia-beta  560.35.03-1                                                     AUR
    NVIDIA drivers for Arch's official 'linux' package (beta version)

So the can be installed using:

pamac build nvidia-beta-dkms

I’m thinking you’d also need to remove the official ones from the repository:

sudo mhwd --remove video-nvidia

I’ve never done this. so it might be different steps. I simply don’t know.

a Reminder: While use of the AUR is possible, it’s neither recommended nor supported. See:
