Don’t use the .run installer, use the ubuntu graphics ppa https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and follow the install instructions there. Then use
sudo apt install nvidia-396
to install the driver.

Remember to rerun and resubmit the benchmarks after driver upgrades, this will allow us to gather a bunch of data on performance that we can share with everybody.

If you run into old documentation referring to other PPAs, you can help us by consolidating references to this PPA.

If someone wants to go ahead and start prototyping on software-properties-gtk on what the GUI should look like, please start hacking!

Help us Help You!

We use the donation funds to get the developers hardware to test and upload these drivers, please consider donating to the “community” slider on the donation page if you’re loving this PPA:

Yes, sorry, I didn’t notice the ppa removed the drivers for 17.10 since the support for that ended in july. So be aware that you’ll be running an outdated system.
You can install an older driver using either the Software&Updates application or running
sudo apt install nvidia-384
or
sudo apt-install nvidia-387

in theory, ubuntu had to find the driver for the video card itself, try installing via Software & Updates
