I have a GTX 1070 which is (in theory) fully supported by nvidia, and I don't expect them to drop the support for a few more years. I mean, even the GeForce 700 Series are still supported (~8 years old) in the latest 495.44. > So if you're using relatively old hardware, you might be stuck > downgrading to 475(?) or whatever the previous version was. > And a compatible LTS kernel, but if you're on nvidia that's probably > already what you're doing? I'm using the latest kernel but the driver 470.86 from AUR (which is btw, the current production branch version). > Otherwise, you may want to switch to the open-source driver, as long as > you don't need AAA gaming, CUDA or vulkan. I do need CUDA. And also AAA gaming with 495 on Linux is a no go right now as well. I have two friends with a RTX 2060 and a RTX 3080 (yeah, they do exist apparently), and they cannot run Steam on the latest driver either. So, as I said, I think 495.44 is buggy, and 470.86 is fully compatible with linux 5.15.x. So anyone with issues should simply use the 470.xx packages from AUR until nvidia releases a new version.
