I'm going to replace my nvidia GTX 1080 with a nvidia GT 730. Can I just replace it and let Ubuntu take care of the drivers or will I need to manually do something?



Thanks

  • That some downgrade but it's likely they can use the same driver version.

If you talking about the nouveau drivers, no, you do not need to do anything.



If you are talking about the Nvidia proprietary dirver then theoretically you don't need to do anything, but probably the safest thing to do is to revert to the nouveau driver before replacing it and then reinstall the proprietary ones.

            ComboBox Display Member on multiple fields

            Image
            2 I'm trying to set the .DisplayMember property of a ComboBox in C#, but I want to bind it to multiple columns in the .DataSouce .

            Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

            Image
            2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar. Is there a way to collect Nectar points when I buy tickets via Trainline? uk trains loyalty-programs trainline share | improve this question asked Dec 2 '18 at 15:50 ahmedus 3,224 5 19 49
