How to get older nvidia driver

I just installed archlinux again and the nvidia driver.
Now when I run 3d games I get a stutter every 13-15 seconds, as if the graphics freeze for 1 second.

I remember having this problem with the nvidia version 169, and then I downgraded the driver which fixed the problem.
But this was in Gentoo.
How do I get an older driver in Archlinux?

I think I need the 100.   something driver.

Re: How to get older nvidia driver

you can't compile older version on the current kernel version. i'm not sure if patches exists. if there are and you'll find it, use ABS to compile your own package

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I haven't tried using ABS yet. The question is for me if it will be easier for me to install Gentoo again where I can just choose the driver version freely, or llearn to use ABS.

I was just hoping that I could use Arch since it is faster to install..
