stopped a while ago at 340 I think. If your card just stopped
working it is probably a GK* variant card.
But some models have 2 generations of chips.

I gave up on NVidia video a long time ago, and this is one of thethings that bugs me about having cards that *could* be used, but ifonly you could figure out how to do it:*It's* the damn computer, why should *we* have to figure out whichdriver to install?Either they could have one large package with everything it needs toinstall the one that you do (somewhat akin to CUPS, though I know itdoesn't have absolutely everything within itself). Or, they could havea detector package which surveys your graphics hardware and picks theright driver package to download and install.
I know the ELrepo nvidia packages (for RHEL) have a nvidia-detect package (and corresponding yum plug-in) that makes it easy to install the appropriate package, giving you some automation.
Perhaps someone needs to port this over to Fedora, dnf, and rpmfusion? |
