Switching to another GPU driver

[kah5683]

Just installed Manjaro, and I am having issues with my graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750. I want to replace the existing video-nvidia 575.64.05 with 470 driver. Could someone explain the steps on how to do this?

I can remove the current driver with:

sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia

but what order should I do this? I read where I remove driver and reboot, Manjaro will pick up with another driver, then I can install the 470 driver with:

sudo pacman -S nvidia-470xx-dkms nvidia-470xx-utils nvidia-settings

The problem is, that with the Manjaro iso, if I choose open source drivers, it comes up to a black screen.

I tried removing the current gpu driver, rebooting, and got a black screen. I used Timeshift to revert back, then tried adding the nouveau driver, removing the current driver, rebooting and still got a black screen.

What is the correct procedure?

Thanks!

You should be able to install 470 driver to replace latest driver in Manjaro Settings Manager > Hardware Configuration GUI tool, or:

sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx

If you prefer to use DKMS driver, install dkms and linux-headers package matched to kernel version. For example: linux612-headers for kernel v6.12

Been away a couple days…

Before leaving, figured out how to use Manjaro Settings Manager > Hardware Configuration First time looked at didn’t see a way to remove or add. Finally figured out to highlight the installed driver, right-click, and click on Remove. When done removing, I right-clicked on the video-nvidia-470xx driver, and clicked on install. Worked. Thank you!
