This is guide, howto install NVIDIA proprietary Linux drivers (manually using .run files) and disable Nouveau driver on Fedora Linux 34 and same method works with Fedora 33/32/31/30 too. Linux Kernels 5.15+, 5.14+, 5.13+, 5.12+, 5.11+ and 5.10+ are tested.
Currently working NVIDIA drivers are:
- 510.xx (510.68.02)
- 495.xx (495.46)
- 470.xx (470.103.01)
- 465.xx (465.31)
- 460.xx (460.91.03)
- 450.xx (450.119.03)
- 435.xx (435.21) Patched
- 418.xx (418.113) Patched
- 390.xx (390.144) Patched
- 340.xx (340.138) Patched
This guide works with NVIDIA GeForce 6/7/8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700/800/900/10/20/30 series cards.
This method allow you easily install / test / use different versions of NVIDIA drivers, you can test BETA drivers and switch back to stable.
This is updated version for Fedora 33 NVIDIA Drivers Install Guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4MeG_oI6Pc). I added some comments to make it more clear, method is exactly same and this works for Fedora 33 users too and old video guide works for Fedora 34 users too.
GNOME 40 with latest NVIDIA 510.xx / 490.xx / 470.xx drivers works very smoothly and quickly, looks very nice. I have used KDE long time, but now I might do some real work with GNOME 40 too.
I have tested this guide with NVIDIA 340.xx (patched), 390.xx (patched), 418.xx (patched), 435.xx (patched), 440.xx, 450.xx, 460.xx, 465.xx, 470.xx, 495.xx, 510.xx drivers/cards on latest Fedora. Here I use 465.24.02 NFB version of NVIDIA drivers installer, you can always select latest stable version, beta version or some other version. If you need patched version, please check following video to see, howto use inttf NVIDIA Patcher Script:
