GTX 970 Drivers

#1 Post by icecxld »

Hey there, I was wondering what would be the easiest and fastest way for someone brand new to Debian to install there GTX 970 drivers. I'm not exactly a Linux Guru when it comes to Debian so if anyone out there would be kind enough to walk me through step by step it would be very greatly appreciated as I am use to using Fedora. Thank you.

Also please forgive me if i posted in the wrong part of the site as im brand new to the Forums thanks. :D

Ah, the wiki. Still doesn't tell you to set up a module building environment. Follow the wiki but instead of step 2 do (as root):

Code: Select all

apt install module-assistant
m-a prepare
That should also automatically install the needed linux-headers package.

I have a GTX970 and it works nicely.
