Hello Everyone: I am trying to make sure that I have removed the Noveau drivers (open source to NVIDIA) and that I can install and configure grub2 and my system to use the official drivers from NVIDIA for my graphics card, which is an RTX 3060. I thought I have the drivers installed, but I think they might not the “official” ones. I am probably confused by all the information available. Attached is the result of my glxinfo on my card as it stands currently.

Hope someone can clear this up. All the online docs seem to be out of date.
Thanks in advance!
Hello: This stems from an error I am getting with my installation of DaVinci Resolve Studio. I have a whole other post on the issues there. In General, the application does not seem to find the GPU, so I was just wanting to confirm that I am indeed using the “proprietary” drivers and not the open source NVIDIA drivers.
I note that this topic was created in the “Hardware” category. I think it may be better placed in the “Multimedia” category, given the nature of the issue with DaVinci Resolve Studio. I’ll change the category accordingly.
