Hey ..I started using cachy os recently.. The problem I am facing is it is not detecting my actual monitor resolution also i ran nvidia-smi it also said that “NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.”
Also i search online and do many things but still there are no fixes I also tried to roll back to the old drivers of nvidia but still it’s not working.
Can any body help me with that ?
Let’s start with the output of
inxi -Ga
and maybe try to move your post to “Issues & Assistance” if possible 
Along with @HardCode4All suggestion include this as well please:
pacman -Ss nvidia|rg installed
First of all, please post info like this as text, not as screenshot, because text is easier to read and it is also much easier to copy/paste text.
Then, regarding your problem: Your inxi -Ga reveals that
a) you are using a GPU that is out of support from Nvidia and
b) there seems to be no driver installed for that GPU (driver: N/A)
Now, I’m too much of a noob to give you an advice here, so you better wait for someone who really knows what to do, but a little search in this forum shows that uninstalling all the wrong packages and installing the right ones should solve your issue, like so :
sudo pacman -Rd nvidia linux-cachyos-nvidia linux-cachyos-lts-nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils
sudo pacman -S nvidia-580xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils
But again: let’s wait for someone with a little more knowledge before rushing into other issues.
Thanks for your time.I will wait then.
I see nothing wrong on the suggestions made by @HardCode4All
sudo pacman -Rd nvidia linux-cachyos-nvidia linux-cachyos-lts-nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils
sudo pacman -S nvidia-580xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils
If you do run into problems copy and paste back the errors so we can see them please. 
In fact I just issued those comands to downgrade my driver.

THANKS @HardCode4All @ChillZone FOR YOUR TIME
Congratulations! I hope you don’t mind I formatted your output with the </> button
So now you know that you are on the “older” nvidia-580xx-dkms drivers, keep that in mind in the future. And try to remember what you did here, you might need that knowledge in the future
Oh yes you did a good work…I was confused why my texts were not in code form …thanks for that…
