The following site will tell you which version of the driver is compatible, and you can use that as a clue to decide which one to install.
Thank you. I'd looked at that but could not find any cross-reference to the G04, G05 of G06 series.
My problem begins with the opensuse SDB Wiki which says this:
G03 = driver v340 = legacy driver for GT8xxx/9xxx devices (via a community user)
G04 = driver v390 = legacy driver for GTX4xx/5xx Fermi devices
G05 = driver v470 = driver for GeForce 600 series and GeForce 700 series (Kepler)
G06 = driver v545 = driver for GeForce 700 series (Maxwell, Pascal...) and up
...... which doesn't really help because it doesn't say where the GTX 1650 board fits in. Hence my confusion.
In the link above, you select the appropriate entries. I don't have your machine and card, so I'm guessing. Select from the dropdown list below to identify the appropriate driver for your NVIDIA product.

Disabled PRIME Display Offload Sink support for virtual displays on datacenter GPUs. This prevents unusable desktop layouts from getting automatically configured on systems with a mix of physical and virtual displays. Fixed a bug that caused high CPU usage during system suspend, which could lead to the system not entering s2idle in some cases.

This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package. Also note that SuSE users should read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO before downloading the driver. Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.146.02.run One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible. See the README for more detailed instructions. For further information please visit our forum, https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-unix-graphics/linux/148. And it takes you to the download: https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/535.146.02/NVIDIA-Linux-... (*the hard way*). So that's version 535, which would be the G05 or G06 (not sure which exactly, I no longer use NVidia), for the easy way. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
