Hello all, I recently installed Linux Mint (KDE) and want to add an nvidia graphics card to the system that will make my games playable...not too demanding games, like half life2 etc.
The current onboard graphics had me trying to play cube 2 at less than 10fps
at times it just stopped completely waiting for the graphics to catch up.
So I have a two fold question...1st is it hard to install nvidia drivers after the main OS install and how to go about it, and
2nd, is there a way to increase the fps with onboard graphics?
Board is an Asrock H61M-VG3 CPU: Intel G2030 @3.0gz (not overclocked).
In the mean time untill I get the new nvidia card, should I try to overclock the onboard graphics unit, or just see what I can do with drivers?
The board is running default at all levels....I just slapped the rig together and excepted the default values and haven't changed them.
This is my 1st experience with Core processors with onboard graphics, so it's all new to me. If there is a sticky to point me to, or any help you all can provide, would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
DocClock
