Hi I went through this with mint xfce 17
Basically I found that just installing the nvidia drivers using the mint installation didn't cut it. The right thing to do is download and install the Cuda drivers which are on the nvidia site. This sets up everything perfectly, and installs the latest driver in the process. The Cuda installation works like adding a repository, from which you just run a simple installation command. The set up an installation instructions are all very clear and concise. From here nuke sees the GPU and runs flawlessly. They have a specific .deb package for Ubuntu / mint users... Check it out..... :) N Sent from my iPad > On 7 Jan 2016, at 19:48, Michael Garrett <michaeld...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It comes preinstalled (and, it says, tested) with Nvidia driver 352.63 which > I see is also the latest driver available on the Nvidia website. > > Thanks, > Michael > >> On 7 January 2016 at 14:27, Elias Ericsson Rydberg >> <elias.ericsson.rydb...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Does the machine come with the Nvidia-drivers pre-installed?
