so im right now on the verge of removing my windows partition and i’m transferring my games but most of them are on epic games launcher and every time it gets downloaded it says : “there is a problem with your graphics card. please ensure card meets the minimum system requirements and that you have the latest drives installed”
i have a 1660 ti and im sure i have the latest drivers
Are you sure your pc uses nvidia drivers? Check if nvidia driver is installed by typing this into terminal:
mhwd -li
and post your output.
Installed PCI configs:
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
video-linux 2018.05.04 true PCI
Warning: No installed USB configs

Hello pratham,
seems that your didn’t have installed the nonfree nvidia driver. So there should shown “video-nvidia”.
With
mhwd -l
you can check which drivers are available for your system. This should look like this:
> 0000:01:00.0 (0300:10de:2182) Display controller nVidia Corporation:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
video-nvidia 2020.11.30 false PCI
video-linux 2018.05.04 true PCI
video-modesetting 2020.01.13 true PCI
video-vesa 2017.03.12 true PCI
To install nonfree nvidia-driver you can use mhwd
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
I hope this will help you with your problem.
You don’t have nvidia proprietary driver installed, you can install it with command from @kisun and after installation check with mhwd -li
that video-nvidia is present.

Could you please post the output from
mhwd -l

I guess you need to update your manjaro with: sudo pacman -Syu
, if you are using nvidia drivers there should be video-nvidia
listed in your mhwd.
nikolal:
sudo pacman -Syu
,
:: Synchronizing package databases…
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade…
warning: latte-dock-git: local (r4691.56cf1535-1) is newer than community (r4166.1dcf799d-1)
there is nothing to do
Can you open the manjaro settings app and then auto install non free drivers there?

Very strange that mhwd isn’t find your nvidia-card. The GTX 1660 ti works in my system very well.
At least could you please post the output from
inxi -Gzxa
please?

Hm, your system uses the free nouveau driver for nvidia cards. Could you please check if the package ‘mhwd-nvidia’ is installed?
Try
pamac search mhwd-nvidia
Output should be a list with 4 packages and ‘mhwd-nvidia’ should be marked as ‘installed’.
If ‘mhwd-nvidia’ is not installed, install it with
pamac install mhwd-nvidia
and then try again
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
