I replied to your initial post , giving a reddit link that doesn't now
work for me. It was an indirect link to the ubuntu graphics driver ppa,
which offers many nvidia drivers for installation, with the usual ppa
caveats..
Synaptic on my kubuntu 16.04 laptop offers nvidia-304, nvidia-340 and
384.130-0ubuntu0.16.04.1, which I would expect to be the most
appropriate of those for your new card. I have a feeling that only the
most recently installed nvidia driver is likely to work properly
In Fedora I have an nvidia 396.54 ? server GUI which works well for
video configuration but doesn't have write permission to /etc, so the
config file has to be written elsewhere and then copied. I've recently
posted with details of my two-screen setup.
And my kde system-settings enables me to define nvidia-HDMI and line
output jointly as a single default audio device. Setting this as the
MythTV audio device works, although warnings do sometimes flash up about
spontaneous changes of audio device; perhaps when a system bell is
intended. Maybe a result of a bad-parity EDID string?
