# NVidia
|
|
|
|
NVidia is a vendor for graphics cards.
|
|
|
|
## Setup NVidia GPU
|
|
|
|
For NVidia GPUs to work install the `nvidia` and the `nvidia-utils` package.
|
|
If you want to easily configure the monitors as described in a later section of
|
|
this file you can also install `nvidia-settings`.
|
|
|
|
There is no initial setup in for of a `xorg.conf` in `/etc/X11` needed
|
|
(except for a multiple GPU/APU setup).
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
A basic configuration can be achieved by running `nvidia-xconfig`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Most configuration and changes require the use of `nvidia-settings`.
|
|
|
|
### Change monitor configuration
|
|
|
|
In `nvidia-setting` monitors can be dragged and dropped to your liking.
|
|
After that you have to save the configuration to the
|
|
[X window manager](./x_window_system.md) configuration file
|
|
`/etc/X11/xorg.conf`.
|
|
|
|
### Avoid screen tearing
|
|
|
|
In `nvidia-settings` under
|
|
`X Server Display Configuration` select your display and click on `Advanced`
|
|
and select either `Force Composition Timeline` or
|
|
`Force Full Composition Timeline`.
