GPU - RTX 3060 Mobile
Nvidia Drivers - 570.144 Stable
Try following the steps in wiki
https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nvidia
GPU - RTX 3060 Mobile, according to doc, it is Ampere architecture, and open source kernel module is preferred.
Try this in configuration.nix first
{
hardware.graphics.enable = true;
services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ];
hardware.nvidia.open = true; # see the note above
}

Nope it did not work
My configuration.nix see if you can find any problems in here you think that might be affecting
OK when i set hardware.nvidia.prime.sync.enable = true; everything is working properly and sddm takes over the black screen but it takes few seconds , can anyone explain what might have caused this issue
