NVIDIA Version Magic mismatch (6.17.8 vs 6.12.58) potentially causing unresponsive sddm/black screen on ISO 251209

Seeing the following as cachyos boots from usb

[38.323761] nvidia: version magic 6.12.58-1-cachyos-lts SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '6.17.8-1-cachyos SMP preempt mod_unload' ...
[38.341315] nvidia_modeset: version magic 6.12.58-1-cachyos-lts SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '6.17.8-1-cachyos SMP preempt mod_unload' ...
[38.360008] nvidia_drm: version magic 6.12.58-1-cachyos-lts SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '6.17.8-1-cachyos SMP preempt mod_unload' ...
[38.503842] nvidia_uvm: version magic 6.12.58-1-cachyos-lts SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '6.17.8-1-cachyos SMP preempt mod_unload' ...

Once the boot completes and usermode starts - sddm runs at <1FPS on Plasma (X11) and Plasma(Wayland) is just blank.

Running with nomodeset selected works as expected.
