I have a GTX 1070 which is (in theory) fully supported by nvidia, and I don't expect them to drop the support for a few more years. I mean, even the GeForce 700 Series are still supported (~8 years old) in the latest 495.44.
So, as I said, I think 495.44 is buggy, and 470.86 is fully compatible with linux 5.15.x. So anyone with issues should simply use the 470.xx packages from AUR until nvidia releases a new version.
I've not heard anything about 495.44 being buggy. Rather, I think your issue is that that version of the driver no longer supports your card. I have a GTK 1050 Ti and it works fine; I just need to use the 470.86 version.
You can see at the nvidia driver search/download site that your 1070 is only supported by the 470 version of the driver:
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/183575/en-us Install the following packages from AUR and you should be fine: libxnvctrl-470xx 470.86-1 nvidia-470xx-dkms 470.86-3 nvidia-470xx-settings 470.86-1 nvidia-470xx-utils 470.86-3 opencl-nvidia-470xx 470.86-3 DR
