I swear I haven't had this issue before, but every time now I install a fresh TumbleweedOS installation, from the get-go, it won't see the nVidia drivers at all. I have tried with a pc with rtx3050 and a pc with gtx1060. Both I had to do "crazy stuff" in terminal, to force it to use my gpu. This is freaking weird. (Haven't been able to fix the 1060 setup yet..)

Any ideers what I do wrong?

Not recognized on kernel level, i gues. But what freaks me out is, that plasma clearly reads the GPU drivers fine, since I wouldn't be able to increase the screen settings etc. Its only when I install games the drivers become a problem...

There can be multiple drivers. You might be using the nouveau-ones without noticing. There is such a thing as driver-blacklisting, never had to do it.

That is also what Le Chat wants me to do. Blacklist the nouveau. But it has no effect.
