You'll have to opt for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-340xx-dkms from the AUR (... and likely add ibt=off to your kernel params if you are using a 5.19 series kernel) if you do not want to stay on nouveau.

I have installed nvidia-340xx-lts-dkms and it worked without problem. GCC version is 12.2.0.

No extra kernel parameter added.

Thank you very much for assistance. I greatly appreciated.
