Installig the nvidia drivers is as simple as installing the package. A reboot is recommended in order to take effect.
It is recommended (AT YOUR OWN RISK) to put the nvidia driver on the `IgnorePkg`-list in the pacman config file. This way shader caches of steam don't need to be revalidated on every update and the chance of catching a faulty update is reduced. To do this, update or uncomment the line in the config file:
```properties title="/etc/pacman.conf"
IgnorePkg = nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-dkms
```
:::warning
Keeping the drivers on the ignore list keeps them outedated. Any bug-fixes and security updates won't be installed.
This can also break the system - so be warned. Usually there's a fallback for only one of the plugged in monitors to turn on in a 4:3 aspect ratio which is enough to manually update the drivers and fix the issue with `sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils`, then reboot.
TL;DR: Definetly do this at Your own risk!
