Nvidia drivers - lm 18.2 xfce

Post by terminal »

Hi. Linux mint comes with nvidia 340 but what i want is the latest driver available from nvidia website. It says that 378 is the newest driver installed which is correct but it says also about some conflicts. Drivers aren't working, only 340 on 4.8 kernel. Something strange happened when i tried to install 378 on kernel 4.8: nvidia prime profiles from bottom right corner just disappeared and i can't add it back.
I'm using kernel 4.10.0-26. Can you help me please?

Then try it by means of the driver in the graphics-drivers PPA, which has been adapted to Ubuntu/Mint:
https://sites.google.com/site/easylinux ... rivers-PPA
(item 1, left column)

The Linux driver on the Nvidia website is (necessarily) far too generic, so practically useless for Mint/Ubuntu (in most cases, anyway).

That is what i did, no success. I need the latest drivers for gaming, i only get a maximum of 50 FPS, 1 FPS at the worst. I would be glad with a constant of 50 FPS.

You mention the nvidia-378. The graphics-drivers PPA also contains the nvidia-381 and the nvidia-384. Are those fit for your graphics card as well? If so, try them (reboot after installing them).

It looks like you might try the nvidia-381 (click on the tab "supported products"):
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverRe ... 8524/en-us

.... and of course, use only the graphics-drivers PPA for installing it, and not the useless generic driver from the Nvidia website. :mrgreen:

One thing, how did you found it? I went to the drivers menu and tried both sections, and got different results.
