i am pretty sure that this has easy solution, i just havent dealt with problems like these before.

i solved it by adding nomodeset as kernel parameter.
now it boots , but after boot text is scrambled again.

Apparently the nVidia card is so new that the framebuffer driver in Arch kernel is having hard time, or maybe it is trying to load nouveau. Install nVidia blob, although it is X11 driver it has a few kernel drivers including KMS.

i managed to install nvidia drivers and it worked.

just needed to use kernel parameter :

nomodeset nouveau.modeset=1

after that screen and writing was readable.
