Rebooted. Gaming works fine.

Kernel: 5.10.62-desktop-1.mga8 x86_64
Mini-pc System: Entroware product: Aura
6-Core Intel Core i7-10710U
Intel Comet Lake UHD Graphics driver: i915
Mesa Intel UHD Graphics (CML GT2)

Installation of all 8 packages succeeded.
Before installation lsmod indicated that the Intel driver was being used but after reboot it was more specifically i915.  xorg.conf is vague in both cases - says Intel.

The system continues to work as before.

No regressions noted on plasma 64 bit, kernels 5.10.62-desktop-1.mga8 and 5.13.14-desktop-1.mga8

Tested: Plasma, some normal desktop apps, Firefox flatpak, VirtualBox with MSW7 guest, BOINC using CPU with CUDA and OpenCL.

Hardware: My workstation "svarten": Mainboard: Sabertooth P67, CPU: i7-3770, RAM 16G, GM107 [GeForce GTX 750] using nvidia-current; GeForce 635 series and later, 4k display.

Problem, as seen before, is when updating while running Plasma, logout does not work first time after update, see below:

----------------

While booted kernel 5.13.14-desktop-1.mga8, updated nvidia packages to:

- dkms-nvidia-current-470.63.01-1.mga8.nonfree.x86_64
- nvidia-current-cuda-opencl-470.63.01-1.mga8.nonfree.x86_64
- nvidia-current-utils-470.63.01-1.mga8.nonfree.x86_64
- x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-470.63.01-1.mga8.nonfree.x86_64

This was using rpmdrake in a Plasma session, and plasma logout function did not work afterwards.

Is this the same as presumed fixed per https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20153#c36, or something else?

I issued reboot as normal user in Konsole, and it rebooted OK.
Performed some tests, OK.

------------------

Rebooted to kernel 5.10.62-desktop-1.mga8, and it built kernel module while booting (1,5 minutes on my i7 3,8GHz)
Performed tests, OK.

Test OK 470.74-1 on same system and methods per comment 5;

Updated while running Plasma, Kernel 5.10.62-desktop-1.mga8 x86_64
As before plasma logout/reboot menu is defunct.

Rebooted, tests OK.

Rebooted to kernel 5.13.14-desktop-1.mga8, dkms built module, tests OK.

---

For the eternal (?) Plasma problem, I wonder if it may be a good idea to always skip building the module at install, and instead let it always rebuild on boot?

After reboot:
Kernel: 5.10.60-desktop-2.mga8 x86_64
10-Core Intel Core i9-7900X [MT MCP]
NVIDIA GP102 [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 470.74

Mate working fine.  GL tests OK.  No regressions.

difda Kernel: 5.10.62-desktop-1.mga8 x86_64
Quad Core Intel Core i7-4790 
NVIDIA GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] driver: nvidia v: 470.74

Mate runs OK with this.  Graphics tests ran OK.
This and the last nvidia update now operate properly with respect to Sync-toVblank.  nvidia-settings shows that it is disabled by default and this is true.  In previous invocations it was enabled by default but nvidia-settings said otherwise (it was necessary to toggle the setting for the display to match the fact).  Somebody must have noticed because it is fixed now.

An update for this issue has been pushed to the Mageia Updates repository.
