how to install Nvidia drivers from nvidia website?
I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on my machine and some people suggested i install the drivers for my 9800 gtx+ from nvidia instead of the open source drivers supplied.
went to nvidia.co.uk and found the drivers and got a 'agree and download' button, pressing this gave me a screen full of code.
i went back and right-clicked the button and clicked 'save target as' and it's given me a .run file that i have no idea what to do with.
can someone help me please? :)

nvidia drivers is need only for special or hight performances.
at the nvidia site, or from the site of your machine, they have an installer.
It is update only if it is your choice according your need.
you can choose the both solutions : a free driver or a driver from nvidia.
(nvidia site explain it clearly, never forget to read all is around drivers p.e 3D, virtual , hight resolution of the screen etc...)

Onstall if you want hardware acceleration and graphics are not responding properly and
if you know how to do it then only do yourself .....read the information given in the readme file of the drivers.
