Re: New Nvidia card

First of all, you are on the rpmfusion list asking about if you should get a particular nVidia card to support video editing. Various folks responded, including myself. To me, since I do editing with an older card, it isn't so important. Now since you're on the rpmfusion list and you asked the question.... "And does the akmod-nvidia work OK with the 1050ti?....I've done the song and dance previously - I kept getting caught out when the akmod-nvidia was a day or two behind kernel updates!" I then thought I cleared up the confusion between "akmod" and "kmod" since if you are using "akmod-nvidia" you *can't* get caught in any way since the purpose of "akmod-nvidia" is to build the kmod-nvidia packages (which hold the modules needed for a kernel) so it matters not if rpmfusion repos have the newest kmod-nvidia. We then got into discussion on if your card is supported. I probably should just have said "Yes, akmod-nvidia supports the new card you want to buy". But, I think I gave you too much information. I was *only* trying to describe to you how to determine what flavor of akmod-nvidia to install for any given HW. akmod-nvidia (mostly the latest and greatest HW which uses the version 375.66 driver) akmod-nvidia-340xx (older HW which uses the version 340.102 legacy drivers) akmod-nvidia-304xx (even older HW which uses the version 304.135 legacy drivers) EVERYTHING you need is supplied by rpmfusion. That is the entire reason behind using rpmfusion. I assumed (yeah my mistake) was that since you were on this list and based on your previous comments/questions I thought you were aware of this.
