I have an Acer Predator Helios 300 from 2019, which is a laptop, with an Nvidia GTX 1660Ti. Using Nvidia's drivers from rpmfusion, video works properly with kernel 6.3.13. Specifically, I can plug an external monitor into the HDMI port, and it and the laptop's built-in display are both fully functional. I'm using version 535.86.05 of the Nvidia drivers, which is a bit newer than in the original report. After upgrading to kernel 6.4.6 and with these packages installed nvidia-gpu-firmware-20230625-151.fc38.noarch kmod-nvidia-6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64-535.54.03-1.fc38.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-kmodsrc-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 akmod-nvidia-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 nvidia-settings-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-power-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 nvidia-persistenced-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-6.3.12-200.fc38.x86_64-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-6.4.6-200.fc38.x86_64-535.86.05-1.fc38.x86_64 the laptop's screen is always blank after I select the new kernel in grub. I can plug an external monitor into the laptop's HDMI port, and that works. But the laptop's built-in screen isn't recognized by gnome or xrandr.

I just tried kernel 6.4.7 from updates-testing. It's just like 6.4.6: built-in display is not recognized, external monitor works fine.
I tried adding initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init and nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the kernel command line. They didn't improve anything. I'm also seeing this secondary symptom that other virtual consoles, which should be accessible with Ctrl+Alt+F4 etc. are not working under kernel 6.4.7. They work under 6.3.12.

I've tried kernel versions 6.4.10 and 6.4.11. The behavior is the same with those as well.
This is not a kernel bug, this is a bug with nvidia's driver. It is closed source, and I have no ability to do anything with it. Based on feedback I have received though, nvidia drivers in rpmfusion are working for several people. Perhaps the driver needs an update?
