[SOLVED]Nvidia drivers not wroking [Step by step]

Trying to install Nvidia proprietary graphic drivers as it give more performance than Nouveau
Here my specs :
CPU :  Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (2) @ 2.000GHz (x64)
GPU : NVIDIA NVS 315
RAM : 4 GB
Kernel :  6.2.11-arch1-1
_______________________lspci________________________________
$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [NVS 315] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device 102f
	Kernel driver in use: nouveau

_______________________pacman________________________________
$ pacman -S nvidia
_______________________initramfs________________________________

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_nvm nvidia_drm)
BINARIES=()
FILES=()
HOOKS=(autodetect modconf keyboard keymap block filesystems systemd)
MODULES_DECOMPRESS="yes"

$ mkinitcpio -P
nvidia_nvm modules not found
$ reboot
_______________________lspci________________________________
$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [NVS 315] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device 102f
	Kernel driver in use: nouveau
	Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

Any help it's still use nouveau as kernel driver also i've blacklist it
and never use nvidia as kernel driver
$ modprobe nvidia

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device

That card is far too old for the current nvidia drivers. See the nvidia page on the Arch Wiki.

If you refuse to read the nvidia wiki page, all I can say is good luck.

However, NVIDIA's legacy drivers are still available and might provide better 3D performance/stability.

    For the Fermi (NVC0/GF1XX) series, install the nvidia-390xx-dkmsAUR package.

I'm sorry if I answer after you've certainly tried those aur drivers, after problems related to the installation of Nvidia drivers on custom kernels, I used nvidia-all and it works
