I have debian 9 running smoothly on my pc with an nvidia gts 250 graphics card which I am about to upgrade to an nvidia gtx 1050
Could you please tell me which are the steps to follow once I install the new card?
I guess I will have to log in to console, completely remove the nvidia drivers for gts250 and install the ones for gtx1050.
so I'll have to
apt purge nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
and then
apt install nvidia-driver
and finally reboot?
Any other thoughts suggestions?

Thx for your reply.4D696B65 wrote: You will need the driver from backports.
in the debian nvidia page it doesn't mention anyghing about backports for Stretch.
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... ion_375.66
May be you could point me to another page for directions?

I found out that backports use 384.111 instead of 375.66.4D696B65 wrote:https://backports.debian.org/
Is this the reason you're suggesting it?
So after adding them in my sources.list I'll have to:
apt -t stretch-backports install nvidia-driver
Sorry if I sound too analytic but I have no much experience...
