Tutorial: GeForce GTX 1080Ti GPU NVIDIA Driver Installation in Ubuntu 18.04 (2019)

NVIDIA-430 Driver, 2019

(Last time, NVIDIA driver 390 was installed in the old tutorial)

There are only few steps to install the GPU driver for GeForce GTX 1080Ti in Ubuntu 18.04. (Sik-Ho Tsang @ Medium)

1. First, remove any previously installed NVIDIA driver by entering the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

2. Add a repository — PPA (Personal Package Archives):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

3. Update:

sudo apt-get update

4. After that, we can find the NVIDIA driver by typing the below command and press {tab} to show the list of NVIDIA driver:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-

5. Find and install the latest NVIDIA driver or the driver version that you want:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-430 nvidia-settings

6. Finally, reboot the system:

sudo reboot

7. After reboot, to check whether the driver is successfully installed:

nvidia-smi

The following screen should be shown if the driver is successfully installed.

8. We can also enter the following command to check other details of the GPU:

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/{tab}/information

Last time, some people asked how to check and install the latest driver version. Now, it is updated in Step 5.

I just posted what I have done here. Hope this can be helpful. :)
