Hi there,
I use to be able to install the 470.xx driver and the website below confirms I am running a Kepler card as per this Arch site NVIDIA - ArchWiki and also What's a legacy driver? | NVIDIA
mhwd detects my card wrong as needing 390.xx drivers instead of 470.xx

Same with the GUI settings.

If I install with yay nvidia-dkms I get a blank-screen at reboot.
I definitely ran on 470.xx before I decided to reinstall and use another distribution for a while.
Would appreciate any help in this regard, thanks
