Step 1: Installing the Nvidia Driver and Optimus Manager Packages

Before we begin, be sure to check if the desktop manager (or DM) you use is supported. This information can be found here.

Install the proper nvidia driver and utilities with the following command:

If you are unable to install lib32-nvidia-utils or lib32-nvidia-libgl, don’t worry as these may not be required unless you plan on using Steam.

Step 1: Installing the Nvidia Driver and Optimus Manager Packages. Before we begin, be sure to check if the desktop manager (or DM) you use is supported. This information can be found here. Install the proper nvidia driver and utilities with the following.

Once the driver packages are done installing, you can install the optimus-manager package from the AUR. To do this, you can use an AUR helper. If you don’t have one already, I would recommend yay. So, I install the package with this command:

Step 2: Configuring the Driver

Be sure to remove any previous Xorg configurations, you may have stored in /etc/X11 as these may interfere with Optimus Manager.

Copy the default configuration file to /etc/optimus-manager/optimus-manager.conf with this command:

Then open the new file in your favorite text editor:

This Super Deluxe Edition of Abbey Road features the new stereo album mix, sourced directly from the. Dailymotion flac audio beatles. The last Beatles album to be recorded (although Let It Be was the last to be released), Abbey Road was a fitting swan song for the group, echoing some of the faux-conceptual forms of Sgt. Pepper, but featuring stronger compositions and more rock-oriented ensemble work. The Beatles - Abbey Road (Original Recording Remastered) '1969/2009 (Classic Rock) Hi-Res 24bit/48kHz - FLAC FILE.

You can set whatever options you would like here, just make sure to set startup_mode=nvidia or startup_mode=auto if you plan on using GPU switching.

If you are not using a DM, be sure to put the following line into your ~/.xinitrc file near the top:

If you did not set the DPI option in optimus-manager.conf, then add the following line after the previous one in the same file:

Step 3: Starting Optimus Manager

Now that you have the drivers installed and Optimus Manager configured, you need to enable the Optimus Manager service and start it. You can do this with the following commands:

Now that the service is running and set to run on startup, the driver should be setup and ready to go. If you are in a graphical session, you may have to reboot.

Once you have rebooted, you can check if the driver is running with the command:

You should see the following in the output:

If you do not see this, then be sure to checkout the links below to troubleshoot the problems.

Conclusion

Your system should now be using your Nvidia GPU. You will likely notice a major increase in performance upon rebooting. I hope this post was helpful.

GPU is essential for playing most of today’s games. And to keep GPU running well, it needs to be maintained in terms of drivers. The only problem is that many GPU drivers update long before the OS they run is ready to handle the new driver version. GPU manufacturers also release beta versions of drivers that are not infrequently compatible with desktop OS.

Has NVIDIA driver update failed?

The driver may not always cause problems, or the problems may not appear for all games but they can cause Blue Screen of Death (BSoD).

Unable To Open The Nvidia Driver Manager

If you are trying to update NVIDIA driver, and the update fails and / or you get BSoD, try the solutions below.

How to fix BSoD while installing NVIDIA drivers

1. Run driver update from Device Manager

If you have manually downloaded a driver and are trying to install it, skip the manual update and use Device Manager instead.

Open Device manager.
Expand Display Adapter.
Right-click on the GPU and select Update drivers.
Search online for updates and install the available ones.
Restart the system.

Note: If Device Manager cannot find a driver update, and an update is available on the NVIDIA website, do not install it. Your system is not ready for the update and a strong installation may deactivate the system.

2. Restore driver update

If you have installed a driver update but cannot access the desktop without getting a BSoD, you need to re-install the driver update.

Boot the system and stop the startup process by holding down the power button.
Repeat this 3-5 times until you see the Troubleshoot tab.
go to Advanced Options> Startup Repair> Restart.
Boot gu Safe mode.
Once in safe mode, open Device Manager.
Expand Display adapters.
Double-click the GPU and go to the Driver tab.
Click on the Putan Roll Back Driver.
Let the driver for rolling back to an older version and restart the system.

3. Update driver with NVIDIA GeForce

You can try to update the driver with the NVIDIA GeForce app. It is built for this very purpose and will handle both download and installation.

Nvidia Driver Manager Mac Catalina

Download and install the NVIDIA GeForce app from NVIDIA official website.
Run the app and go to the drivers tab.
Click Check for updates.
Download and install available driver updates.

4. Update Windows 10

One of the main reasons GPU driver is causing problems on Windows 10 is if Windows 10 is not updated. Make sure you are running the latest version of the OS and there are no upcoming updates.

Open the Configuration application with keyboard shortcut Win + I.
go to Update & Security.
Select the Windows Update Tab.
Click Check for updates.
Download and install available updates.

Conclusion

Nvidia Driver Manager Windows 10

NVIDIA drivers are usually stable however, they can cause problems at times. Check online forums to see if a particular update is causing problems for other users. If so, reinstall the driver and wait for a piece from NVIDIA. Do not attempt to force a new driver installation for an old NVIDIA GPU. Newer drivers usually do not run well with old chips. Allow Windows 10 to handle driver updates for the GPU instead and keep the system stable.
