Hardware compatibility and driver versions

Currently there are five meta versions of nVidia Linux drivers each of which supports a specific group of GPUs. To check the type of driver that is related to your video card, check the link on this page of the official nVidia:

If you have identified as your driver version 337.25, for example, you need the mask(s) driver(s) latest(s) to which you want to install.
