Post by zenacim »

Hello everyone,
I have a NVIDIA K600 with the drivers version 390.77 .
Checking on the NVIDIA website, There are some recent drivers:
Version: 410.93
Release Date: 2019.1.3
https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverR ... 1700/en-us

Do you recommend me to install them?
I use sometimes this computer for CS:GO and for the moment I have more or less 40-60FPS.

My using the command: ubuntu-drivers devices

== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00000FFAsv000010DEsd0000094Bbc03sc00i00
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
model : GK107GL [Quadro K600]
driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-410 - third-party free
driver : nvidia-driver-396 - third-party free
driver : nvidia-driver-390 - third-party free
driver : nvidia-driver-415 - third-party free recommended
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin


How can I select the 410 drivers?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

I suggest installing it using the Driver Manager program.
