NVIDIA's official graphics card driver update is relatively timely, but the compatibility with the ubuntu system is not very good, and warnings are often generated. There are usually two ways to install an NVIDIA graphics card, as follows:

method one

1. Download the CUDA installation package (.deb format, CUDA is a parallel computing language for calling GPU)
2. Enter ubuntu terminal (shortcut key Ctrl+ t)
3. Use the dpkgcommand to install (installing CUDA will automatically download and install the latest graphics card driver)
   Disadvantages: The installed graphics card driver is sometimes incompatible with the system and needs to be repaired by itself.

Method Two

Download the specified NVIDIA driver installation package (.run format). The installation of run format files is sometimes troublesome. Here we focus on explaining the steps, as follows: - [ NVIDIA ]
