Do you need the proprietary graphics driver to do machine learning stuff?
- barelysapient 5y agoI haven't used my GPU for ML. But if its similar to gaming then the open source driver is substantially slower than the Nvidia driver. I ended up changing to an AMD card which has been rock solid and doesn't require custom drivers.
- goosedragons 5y agoIf you want CUDA yes. So pretty much as the alternatives that work with Nouveau are much less supported and used.
- moffkalast 5y agoYeah you need the CUDA toolkit which comes with it I think
- pizza234 5y agoSadly, one may need proprietary Nvidia drivers to do... anything. I had three nvidia cards, and at least two of them needed an installation ISO patched with the binary drivers, otherwise, they didn't start at all, or they would crash after a very short time.
