Hello @SleepingSloth, what driver were you expecting? pacman -Q nvidia nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils in a terminal should give you some installed nvidia package versions.

@kisak-valve

steam should use these

  1. nvidia 410.73-2
  2. nvidia-utils 410.73-1
  3. lib32-nvidia-utils 410.73-1
Driver:  NVIDIA Corporation GeForce GTX 1070/PCIe/SSE2
Driver Version:  4.6.0 NVIDIA 410.73
OpenGL Version: 4.6

instead we get

Driver:  VMware, Inc. llvmpipe (LLVM 7.0, 256 bits)
Driver Version:  3.1 Mesa 18.2.4
OpenGL Version: 3.1
