NVidia and Zen Kernel

Hello Everyone im planning to build a new pc as a live streaming box to twitch and using OBS with NVenc codec to do Raw offline encoding and my CPU to do the live streaming, i also planning to install the Zen Kernel unto the system but theres no nvidia Drivers for Zen and the ones from the AUR is out of date but i was looking on the Arch Wiki and i saw  nvidia-dkms  which supposed to work on a custom Kernel so i was wondering can i

A. Install the Nvidia driver normally using the Zen Kernel
B. Use nvidia-dkms to install it on the Zen Kernel

im open for suggestions and thank you for responding to this thread

Re: NVidia and Zen Kernel

Go for B, the non-dkms packages are only built for - and compatible with the kernel they refer to.
