Packages but not drivers and not Feature->Production (Nvidia) branch transition.
They are created on the private SUSE OBS instance.
There’s no shortage of volunteers here, I’ve been offering for well over a year now. I mean, I already create and maintain the packages locally, based on Stefan’s packages. All that’s needed here is for nvidia or suse to tell me where I can legally upload it, to share it with everyone else. Only the long arm of the Law with an nvidia shaped fist on it, and a dread fear of a ban from OBS, prevent me from sharing it right now.

After I rolled back due to problems with the 550.120 driver (s. my previous posts) and after being away from home for a few days, I updated the system again, and voilà, Plasma no longer has graphic issues! Thanks to everyone involved in solving the problems!
560 driver version exists at developer.download.nvidia.com. But install on your own risk. Some instructions on Reddit: Reddit - Dive into anything
I’ll probably wait them to appear in download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed. Any clue when?
I’m running that 560.35 driver at the moment, to test CUDA functionality in containers. While it’s working OK in that capacity (maybe), it’s (definitely) quite buggy as a desktop graphics device. But it’s also quite old, so hopefully we will get a newer driver soon.
56x drivers are pre-release (when you read “new feature branch”, think, ‘beta’) drivers at the moment. They really aren’t ready for general use. Refer to the nvidia forums bug reports if you are not sure I’m right about that.
They will hit the nvidia repo when they are released, which at this point, is likely either next week, or most probably, some 2+ months away. Nobody outside of nvidia really knows, maybe even nvidia don’t know, but when they do, they won’t be telling us in advance. It’ll be there when it’s there.
It’s hard, but all we can do is be patient. Maybe place offerings in front of leather jackets or something? 
You mean Index of /opensuse/tumbleweed/x86_64 repo?
Where You took this info? 
I actually like the next week! 
Yes
I made it up.
Well… I derived it from the very little available data. Just looking at the timing of previous releases, there should be a new driver fairly soon - maybe next week -ish. Nothing is known. But, since the current version has so many bugs, and looking at the rate that bugs have been fixed in the past, I don’t expect that the next one will be the final release version. Maybe the next one. Maybe the one after, or after that… So, months away.
I think I’m having related issues, although my symptoms aren’t the same. I’ve had this problem since updating to Kernel 6.11 and NVIDIA drivers 550.120 more than two weeks ago. At the time, I rolled back, and just waited. That said, I tried updating again today and I still have the same problem.
Whenever I wake my desktop PC from sleep, it instead restarts after a long pause on a black screen. It takes approximately 2-3 minutes sitting on a black screen with little evidence the computer is on (minimal fan breeze and very slight processing noise), before just loading into grub as if I fresh booted from shutdown or restarted.
I did try manually adding "nvidia_drm.modeset=1"and “nvidia_drm.fbdev=1” paramters to grub and then “grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg” and “dracut --force” to no avail. Not sure if my best bet is just to roll back again and wait until… a new NVIDIA driver? Not sure where the issue is here, and kind of assuming it is all related to this series of problems. I’m using X11 btw. I have not tried Wayland as my experience with it has had lots of flickering and my understanding is until a driver with explicit sync is available it is unlikely to work well given my experience. I have not tried the 560 drivers.
Looks like this week or the next week will be very probable: 
In case anyone runs into my problem, the issue was (surprisingly) due to Bluetooth. Disabling Bluetooth through KDE settings allowed me to properly suspend and resume. Discussion where I found with some extra details: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=299987.
