Setting up Proprietary Nvidia Drivers

I have Arch installed any am curious what the Nvidia drivers are for Arch Linux and what should be installed along side them to help with gaming, and to get the best performance out of an RTX 2060

Arch has excellent documentation.

If you don’t want to read through it, the short version is this:

if you’re on the standard kernel, install nvidia

If you’re on the LTS kernel, install nvidia-lts

Then reboot.
