What driver shenanigans should be done for setting up an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 gpu for Steam?

Using EndevourOS with both Gnome and Hyprland

I loosely followed this tutorial initially here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv1zMkLFMgg&t=1015s but currently Steam cannot launch any games, not even Half-Life 1.

I ctrl+F'd GeForce GTX 1650 here: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html and it's all the way down near the bottom of the page. My GPU is part of the NV160 family, Turing.

According to here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA I need to install the nvidia-580xx-dkms driver.

I think what I need to try is uninstall everything I have Nvidia related first before trying to install the 580xx driver. But before doing that I want to know what else I should need for setting up my GPU for use with Steam gaming if anything? What should the results of typing lspci -k -d ::03xx in the terminal look like for my GPU? It's getting late for me so I'll see what's up later.

turing is supported by nvidia-open and you should use those since they’re up to date

580xx is for pascal (10xx) and older

also you should blacklist the noveau driver

is it harmful?

[rugged flower]

it just prevents the official nvidia drivers from working

ah ok, blacklisting a thing just sounded spooky lol

[rugged flower]

blacklisting is just not loading a kernel module

and we blacklist nouveau because we don’t want it

also when you’re installing nvidia-open, make sure to remove the old 580xx driver

roight roight, I don't think that installed tho, I tried to but it was conflicting with the other modules so I wanted to cancel it until I knew what I was doing

but maybe I did idk, I should wait until the morning to fix my sleep tho. But thx for helping me out and pointing me to the the right direction, I'll try to see about it tomorrow.
