NVIDIA Graphic card stopped working after update to 570 driver with Linux 6.13.0-1-default

All was working fine with the previous 550 driver. But noticed there was an update to the 570 driver when I did a Zypper dup update today. Noticed my Nvidia setting disappeared from my favourites and seems machine has defaulted to using on board AMD Graphics chip instead. Is there an easy way to downgrade to 560.35.03 which I had heard was supposed to be good or back to the previous 550 without using roll back option in boot? Tried it on Wayland & X11 same issue.

Simply perform a sudo zypper in nvidia-drivers-G06 and it will pull in the v550 packages.

nvidia-settings is now a separate package with v570 which needs to be installed.

Thanks for the reply, yes I found the nvidia-settings in YAST. I think it might be working ok now. So I’ll probably mark this a closed now.

Where did you find nvidia settings in yast?

As explained the package is called nvidia-settings

I found it in the Software Management section & then the Repositories tab at the top. Then select the nvidia Graphics driver repo which then shows all the installed and available drivers & I ticked the box on the highlighted nvidia-settings and applied to install it. I hope this helps? See photo of this below:
