I am using LMDE 2, 64-bit.
I found these instructions on how to install NVIDIA drivers: https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/331. However, my video card (EVGA GeForce GT 620) is not listed!
How do I install the drivers for the card? My video card is not that old, so I am surprised that it is not listed...

Re: Want To Install NVIDIA Drivers
It is supported just fine.
The nVidia driver supports the entire 6xx family.
This how-to is also 5 years old.
Installing nVidia drivers is probably not more difficult than:
That's really all there is to it. nVidia doesn't have a framebuffer driver though, which makes it very annoying to use the TTY terminals (when you press ctrl-alt-f2 etc) because they are such a low resolution.
I wish it would load nVidia only for X, like it did in the past (?).
edit: unless I am mistaken about Debian.
