For Debian 10, you might do this with: # apt install -t buster-backports linux-image-amd64Įxchange 'buster-backports' with your own version's backports repository as necessary.įor support of GeForce 600 series and newer GPUs ( supported devices). In some cases, if you're aiming to install the bleeding-edge version of the NVIDIA driver from Debian Backports, you may also need to install the kernel from backports to match it. For instance, if you're using backports on a 64-bit Debian 10 system, you might run: # apt install -t buster-backports linux-headers-amd64 If you're using the kernel from Debian Backports, you must run the same command but with the -t flag followed by the name of your backports source. Or, for 32-bit systems with the PAE kernel: # apt install linux-headers-686-pae The 450-series and newer has dropped support for 32-bit architectures, now only supporting x86-64 and ARMv8 (Debian AMD64 and ARM64 ports respectively).īefore installing the drivers, you must obtain the proper kernel headers for the NVIDIA driver to build with.įor a typical 64-bit system using the default kernel, you can simply run: # apt install linux-headers-amd64įor 32-bit systems with the non-PAE kernel, you'd instead install: # apt install linux-headers-686 Only supports OpenGL 2.1.Īll driver versions up to, and including, the 418-series, are only available for the x86, x86-64, and 32-bit ARMv7 architectures (Debian i386, AMD64, and ARMHF ports respectively). Version 304.137 (legacy GPUs) ( supported devices)Įven older legacy driver, for GeForce 6 series and GeForce 7 series. Note that 418.152 is only available in stretch-backports.Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian 9 'Stretch': Supports Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, and most Turing GPUs.Note that 460.73.01 is only available in buster-backports.Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian 10 'Buster': Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian 11 'Bullseye': Only one precompiled driver version is available for Debian 12 'Bookworm': You are highly recommended to use the built-in Nouveau driver if security is a priority. It is not included in stable releases of Debian anymore, has serious unfixable security vulnerabilities, and may not be updated for new kernels in a timely manner. 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.
