Enable DRI3 on Proprietary NVIDIA driver
I have come across numerous threads about enable DRI3, but none of them seem to work. I have put "--enable-dri3" in the PKGBUILD of mesa-git and lib32-mesa-git, and it still loads DRI2. What am I missing?

Re: Enable DRI3 on Proprietary NVIDIA driver
Nvidia uses their own implementation of OpenGL, thus DRI3 from Mesa libs has no influence.

Re: Enable DRI3 on Proprietary NVIDIA driver
Oh, I see. How could I get DRI3 to load instead of DRI2 then on NVIDIA proprietary drivers? Is there a command I can put in the xorg.conf file?

Re: Enable DRI3 on Proprietary NVIDIA driver
DRI is a Mesa thing, you're not using *any* DRI when using the Nvidia proprietary driver. The driver may report some info through the DRI protocol but otherwise it isn't used at all. As Xabre said, Nvidia has their own OpenGL implementation.

No, apparently you don't see. Go back and re-read Xabre's post.

I thought he meant that the DRI came from elsewere if you use NVIDIA proprietary drivers. Like for example, it comes from X server instead of MESA. I now understand how it works because of Gusar's post. No need to be disrespectful.
