Use of the 340-series driver is strongly discouraged. No Vulkan support, supports up to OpenGL 3.3 depending on your card. Older legacy driver, for GeForce 8 series through GeForce 300 series. Version 340.108 (legacy GPUs) ( supported devices) Supports Vulkan 1.0 on Kepler and newer, supports up to OpenGL 4.5 depending on your card.

Supports Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, and most Pascal GPUs.

Supports Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Turing, and all current Ampere GPUs.

Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian Unstable 'Sid': It is a binary-only driver requiring a Linux kernel module for its use. The proprietary 'NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver' provides optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL and Vulkan applications through either Xorg or Wayland. Your card is also supported by the Tesla 418 drivers series. Your card is also supported by the Tesla 440 drivers series. Your card is supported by all driver versions. The nvidia-detect script (found in the nvidia-detect package in the non-free section) can also be used to identify the GPU and the recommended driver package to install:Ĭhecking card: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 (rev a1) After you install the necessary driver package, you'll still need to choose one of the methods on the NVIDIA Optimus page in order to activate and make use of your NVIDIA card. Note: if this lspci command returns more than one line of output, you have an Optimus (hybrid) graphics chipset. The PCI ID can be used to verify device support. See HowToIdentifyADevice/PCI for more information.

$ lspci -nn | egrep -i '3d|display|vga'Ġ7:00.0 VGA compatible controller : NVIDIA Corporation GM206 (rev a1).

The NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) series/codename of an installed video card can usually be identified using the lspci command.

GPU isn't functional, even with a compatible driver version installed.

Driver stops working after upgrading Debian.
