To enable Nvidia 3D acceleration in infinityOS, type in the following
command in the terminal (there is a way to get to it in the
Applications menu (right-click on desktop to get to this), but I'm too
lazy to type it out):

--------------

sudo jockey-gtk

--------------

After you've restarted, type the following into the terminal:

--------------

sudo nvidia-settings

--------------

Enable every option refering to V-Blank or V-Sync. I also recommend
overriding the default antialiasing to 4x. This applies to both kinds
of antialiasing.

Close the Nvidia settings.

Type the following into the terminal to commit your settings into the
xorg.conf file:

-------------

sudo nvidia-xconfig

-------------

Restart your computer. Your graphics card is now set up to be pretty :p.
