Seems like there are some big issues with the latest nvidia driver. After updating to 515.76-1 on arch linux, the system now boots into a black screen after the bootloader text. In this black screen there is no way to change into a TTY.
I’ve read a few reports and it seems like it happens to the 3000 series cards.

This occurs with or without the integrated GPU enabled in firmware.
ftr, given the amount of reports across distros, Gentoo opted to mask 515.76 and have users go back to 515.65.01 for now unless they opt-in
