### Pascal-GPUs and New Drivers
On some operating systems like [Arch Linux](/wiki/linux/arch-linux.md) the newer versions of
drivers are not compatible with Pascal GPUs anymore as explained in
[the german Arch forum](https://www.archlinux.de/news/35689-Nvidia-Treiber-ab-Version-590-stellen-den-Support-fuer-Pascal-GPUs-ein).
This is due to the drop of support for these cards from Nvidias site.
If Pascal-GPUs are still used some minor changes need to be performed and some packets need to be
replaced.
On Arch Linux-based systems this can be achieved by replacing the packages `nvidia-open` and
`nvidia-open-utils` with `nvidia-580xx-dkms`, `nvidia-580xx-utils` and `lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils`.
If upgrading from a Pascal-GPU to a newer version this change needs to be undone.
After the packages are changed it is important to
[rebuild the initial ramdisk](/wiki/linux/mkinitcpio.md#manually-generate-initial-ramdisk) and
reboot the system.
