Nvidia GTX 670

670 should be Kepler NVIDIA#Installation and needs https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-470xx-dkms/

Just downloading the package won't make any changes to your system.
Did you mean install instead of download?

Can you access a login prompt by switching to another tty? ( Ctrl + Alt +F2)  If not boot from the live media then chroot in.
From there you can post the journal to a pastebin.

Is the journal from a boot after you built and installed the nvidia-470xx-dkms package?
If so what is the output of

$ pacman -Qs nvidia
# dkms status

Re: [SOLVED] Downloading nvidia-utils breaks my arch

pacman -Qs headers

and after installing linux-headers rebuild all dkms modules, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynami … ld_modules
