Install Nvidia Driver in Ubuntu

Nvidia will be restricted in most ubuntu Versions. This is also a hurdle for people who like Desktop Effects. Installing Nvidia is not a big task Just requires some series of steps to do.

Procedure:

1. Download the required driver from Nvidia website. Due to Nvidia's UDA, you cant get drivers exactly for your Video card.

2. Ctrl + Alt + F1.

3. Execute sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to terminate X-Server.

4. You will be dropped to a non-graphic console.

5. Login to the console and navigate to the Folder where you downloaded the Nvidia Driver.

6. Type sh .run

7. It will guide you to an interactive installation process.

8. In some cases, the installer will opt for compiling a version for your device when it fails to find a kernel module. Accept the offer in such case.

9. After the installation is complete, reboot your pc with sudo reboot.

Windows 7 - Suffocating out of Drivers

Finally Nvidia has come out with their set of Drivers that support Windows 7. Thanks for that. but here comes an another Issue. Have a look at this Image. This is nothing but my motherboard scolded me for running its application in a version of windows that it does not support. Video Driver is not a problem, as we already have nVidia drivers for it. Audio, if at all i have 5.1 surround sound, my realtek audio driver is sitting well with other inbuilt drivers. So what could be the problem. Ofcourse this is not a problem for many users. Its the Co-Processor. Co-processor driver comes with motherboard DVD. But it has been designed to work till windows vista x64. What about windows seven. Should i run my AMD x4 940 Quad 3.0Ghz processor without Co-Processor drivers until i get a driver from ASUS. As a final try , i relied on Nvidia to search Drivers, but Hurry Up!! Manufacturers...Windows Seven is on the way.

ATI Radeon HD 5970

AMD is back. This is not just an high end but a gigantic end graphics card. The features are really jaw dropping. A complete gaming rig should have this GPU running. The hardware configuration is 512-bit bus Core Clock 725 MHz Memory Clock 1000 Mhz Memory 1 GB DDR5 (OMG!!!!) 6-8 Pin Connection configuration The notable feature is, it is not very much big and bulky like nVidia 8800 which accommodates a full cabinet. This ATI Radeon 5970 is very slim as it would look like a lower end graphics card.Heating is a problem, as it could not keep itself very cool with it's single fan cooling system. This fan is not sufficient enough to suppress the heating effect, as it is a closed design card. The performance is better than other dual GPU nVidia cards. Now harden you heart. The cost of this worthy card is Rs.42,000. The price substantiates it's DirectX 11 compatibility ,though they are no DirectX 11 compatible games available now. Infected with Harish Syndrome
