Hi, I would like to now if there is any closed source nvidia driver (the better one for gaming) for Nvidia Quadro FX1800. I wanted to show my brother some of linuxon my old laptop and I don’t want to make him bugged off by lack of gaming on it.
You must log in or # to comment.
You need version 340. IDK what distro you have so I cannot tell you how to install it, or if it is even available.
Most distributions will work using the .run file. They just needs to make sure to kill any display manager running before installing.
On what distro?
Latest official driver for that GPU is nvidia-340, which is unsupported by majority of distros.
Some distros like Archlinux based or Manjaro you can install it from AUR, other may have some unofficial repository.
Don’t use the installer .run if don’t know what you doing, it can probably break on kernel update, only on last case.
Well in terms of distro in reality is what is going to work best. Preferably debian or fedora
