nvidia driver 384.69 breaks all games.

After I updated to 384.69 none of my games use the GPU anymore.
Idle vram is about 10 MB lower then when playing games, and GPU utilization is about 1-2% higher in games then idle.
In games my FPS is about 10% of what it used to be(200-20 in CSGO, 50-3 WOT) in just the loading screens, in WOT its just after the game loaded and I still have to log in.

I tried rolling back to 384.59 but it would display just a blinking cursor.
lib32-nvidia-utils is up to date, I heard it was moved from experimental a bit to late but its at 384.69 right now.

Re: nvidia driver 384.69 breaks all games.

Can't confirm, post

pacman -Qs nvidia
pacman -Q linux
uname -a
glxinfo | grep OpenGL #Needs mesa-demos

as well as your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and maybe terminal output of a affected game.

did you also upgrade your kernel with the driver update? if so, you will need to rebuild the old version against the new kernel (best option), or revert to the older kernel
