Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti video card with Zorin 9.0? Zorin O.S. itself includes NO "Additional Drivers" to try for this NVIDIA card on my system.
At present I am using the Zorin provided default drivers for my Intel (i-7 4490K) Integrated Graphics which work great, and even allow 2560X1440 Resolution with an HDMI connection to fill my 27" IPS Monitor.
I would like to add the NVIDIA card instead of the Integrated Graphics, and have actually tried installing, but have run into a problem using the default Zorin (Open Source) drivers, which provide only a very low resolution maximum!
This very low resolution max to me, begs for NVIDIA Proprietary drivers!
After reading through several different Forum threads, it seems that adding a NVIDIA Proprietary driver is problematic at best with a Ubuntu or derivative Linux.
Am I banging my head against the proverbial wall with NVIDIA? Would I be better off trying an AMD Radeon card instead?
Any Zorin users feedback would be appreciated on any experience using an NVIDIA card!
