Which does leave (me) a problem? https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Determining_your_card_model makes it seem easy... E.g. (if) I buy a GTX 1050 TI http://www.nvidia.co.uk/buy/graphics-cards/geforce/gtx-1050-ti/ specifically the Gigabyte https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TG1-GAMING-4GD#kf How do I relate that to a build of akmod please? http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/367.57/README/supportedch... does not list the 1050? I see the 1060... though going from that to an akmod 'version' I find hard? You said "akmod-nvidia-375.66-3 supports the latest nvidia hardware" is that a general statement - i.e. that version supports 'all' (at least most) of the currently available cards?
