The main goal when I was buying a new PC with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti was an ability to play games on Arch Linux without the necessity to reboot...

Hmmm, I am right now trying to use nvidia drivers on exactly the same video card, but even after deleting
nouveau&mesaand installingnvidiaI still getlspcisaying the kernel module in use isnouveau:(More googling it is.
P.S. ended up using
nouveaufor drivers, + installednvidia+ commented out that one place that blacklistsnouveau. I still want to get cuda working, but having a working xorg seems more important right now :)Did you delete kms from mkinitcpio?
You may create a basic udev rule, # Create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-monitor-names.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card0", ATTR{devname}=="HDMI-A-0", NAME="HDMI-0"
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card1", ATTR{devname}=="DVI-D-0", NAME="DVI-D-0"
And you can use these directories: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-monitor-names.rules, check your card number, card0 or card1, etc, and use KERNEL==cardnumber, open terminal (for example, Konsole), and type xrandr --listmonitors
should look like this Monitors:(number)
Connected device with graphics port for example: HDMI. or you could enter sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-monitor-names.rules
but if your a root user you can do nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-monitor-names.rules
Always check your GPU configs. as they could be corrupted. To apply these changes type sudo udevadm control --reload, hopefully it fixes your arch linux issues! :)
Can you clarify one thing, is this advice for notebook GTX 1050 Ti or desktop one?
Hi, Rishi.
Sorry for the long reply - didn't notice notification.
Answering your question - I did this installation on my PC, not a laptop/notebook.
