This article will help you install NVIDIA, Intel, or AMD/ATI Drivers on your Linux PC depending on your Graphic Card Manufacturer.

INSTALLING NVIDIA GRAPHICS CARD DRIVERS (Beta drivers)

• In 12.04, launch the Additional Hardware Drivers dialog from System Settings. In 12.10, launch Software Properties, then click on the Additional Drivers tab in the Software Sources menu.
• Install the newest Nvidia-experimental-NNN driver. Note that you probably will need to scroll down to see the experimental drivers

command line install

<pre class="wp-block-code">```
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

### **INSTALLING AMD/ATI GRAPHIC CARD DRIVERS**

- **Enable the *pre-released updates*. You can enable this repository by opening Ubuntu Software Center, selecting Edit | Software sources… and then enabling the Pre-released updates option on the Updates tab.**
- **Update your repository to the latest version in the Update Manager.**
- **Remove the currently installed drivers.**
- **In 12.04, launch the <tt>Additional Hardware Drivers</tt> dialog from <tt>System Settings</tt>. In 12.10, launch Software Properties, then click on the <tt>Additional Drivers</tt> tab in the <tt>Software Sources</tt> menu.**
- **Install the newest *fglrx-experimental-X* driver**.

An alternative method of installing the drivers is to install them directly from the developer's website. Instructions to do so can be found **[here](http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Quantal_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29_BETA.2FEXPERIMENTAL)**. This would install the absolute latest drivers for ATI graphics cards, but it could also lead to some unforeseen instability.

### **INSTALLING INTEL GRAPHIC CARD DRIVERS**

For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Linux Mint 13, you’ll need to update your mesa stack using the x-updates PPA.

On the command line, run

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

```
```
