I do not have an NVIDIA card (thankfully) and so this was pieced together, partly from the Wiki, partly from the Discussion forum (nothing old, but fairly current), and partly from another source.


# ============
# 🖼️ NVIDIA GPU Support
# ============

# NVIDIA drivers are proprietary, but NixOS makes them easy to install.
# These are required for hardware acceleration and optimal performance.

# ⚠️ NOTE: Wayland support for NVIDIA is improving, but X11 still tends to offer better compatibility.
# KDE Plasma works with both.

# 🔍 Tip: If you're unsure which driver version you need (some cards require legacy versions),
# visit: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nvidia

# 💻 For laptops with Intel and NVIDIA GPUs (Optimus support)
# hardware.nvidia.enable = true; # Enable NVIDIA drivers for the NVIDIA GPU
# hardware.nvidia.prime.enable = true; # Enable Optimus for switching between Intel and NVIDIA GPUs
# ⚠️ Do NOT enable modesetting for Optimus systems
# hardware.nvidia.modesetting.enable = true; # This should be left commented out for laptops with Optimus

# 🖥️ For desktops with a single NVIDIA GPU
# hardware.nvidia.enable = true; # Enable the NVIDIA drivers for the NVIDIA GPU
# hardware.nvidia.modesetting.enable = true; # Enable modesetting for better performance
# ✅ Uncomment the line below if you want to always use NVIDIA as the primary GPU
# services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ]; # Make NVIDIA the default graphics card

# ⚙️ Optional: Use the stable version of NVIDIA drivers for reliability
# hardware.nvidia.package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.stable;

# ⚙️ Optional: Enable 32-bit libraries for older applications and games
# hardware.nvidia.package = pkgs.linuxPackages.nvidia_x11;
