Package: nvidia-driver (470.256.02-2) [non-free]

[ Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers  ]

NVIDIA metapackage

This metapackage depends on the NVIDIA binary driver and libraries that provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES/Vulkan applications via a direct-rendering X Server.

Please see the nvidia-kernel-dkms or nvidia-kernel-source packages for building the kernel module required by this package. This will provide nvidia-kernel-470.256.02.

This version only supports GeForce, NVS, Quadro, RTX, Tesla, ... GPUs based on the Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing, Ampere, or newer architectures. The (Tesla) 470 drivers are the last driver series supporting GPUs based on the Kepler architecture. Look at the legacy driver packages for older cards.

See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-driver/README.txt.gz for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.

Building the kernel module has been tested up to Linux 6.8.
