Hi,
I know Nvidia still supports it, their helpdesk person told me. I
don't know what optimus is, but I have 2 M6800 laptops and a M6700
SI'll see if I can find that. Someone else told me that that
RHEL/Centos 8 just has a lot less drivers included (I don't know if that
is true though)

I was able to build/compile the drivers with
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.73.01.run on 4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64, it
gave me a warning about pkcfg, but no other warnings/errors and seem
to install, however, after booting it still didn't use that driver,
but the nouveau one

Not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison as I'm on Ubuntu, but just
to show that Nvidia still supports this card (I'm on the same laptop -
m6700 - though lower powered GPU). I have enabled Optimus in the BIOS
and also installed bumblee for Optimus [1] support. $ ubuntu-drivers
