[Precise] Support for Nvidia GeForce GT 610

Asked by Aaron Pickett on 2012-08-29

Support for the GeForce GT 600 series has been available since 295.53 in the official Nvidia binary driver, but nvidia-current-updates stops at 295.49. Are there any plans to further update this package, adding support for my video card, or should I look to unofficial PPAs?

Hello ,
you can update your graphics card driver by adding a stable repository.
Follow the instruction bellow.

Open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and copy-paste below commands
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
your graphics card driver will upgrade to 304.43 version.

Reboot your system to see if worked.
Thank you.

That solution may work for advanced users, but shouldn't there be official (and automatic) support for a line of GPUs that was released four months ago?
