To detect the NVIDIA card, we need to install nvidia-detect: :~$ sudo apt install -y nvidia-detectĠ1:00.0 3D controller : NVIDIA Corporation GM108M (rev a2)Ĭhecking card: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M (rev a2) You can see what the primary card is by doing: :~$ lspci | grep -i vgaĠ0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02) You may also not even see NVIDIA listed at all. Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) Įxpansion ROM at 000c0000 įor optimus (laptops and notebooks), you will not see NVIDIA for the primary card. Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) Memory at f6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd GP106 įlags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 100 Be sure to include the correct address lspci -s XX.XX.X -v: :~$ lspci | grep -i vgaĠ7:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106 (rev a1)Ġ7:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 ) Take note, the lspci command contains a unique PCI bus address. Let’s determine the exact GPU installed, and check the kernel modules it’s using. As a reminder, in case you aren't using a GeForce GPU right now, the current newest officially available GeForce Game Ready Driver, for GPU architectures following Kepler, is version 511.23.īoth new GeForce Security Update Drivers are claimed to deliver patches for 'issues that may lead to multiple security impacts.' In a security bulletin, published January 31, Nvidia state that the issue is 'NVIDIA Omniverse Launcher contains a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) vulnerability which can allow an unprivileged remote attacker, if they can get user to browse malicious site, to acquire access tokens allowing them to access resources in other security domains, which may lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, and impact to confidentiality and integrity.GPUs with a CUDA compute capability > 5.0 are recommended, but GPUs with less will still work.Īfterwards, make sure you have contrib & non-free* components are enabled in your network Repositories and that your system is fully up-to-date: :~$ grep 'contrib non-free' /etc/apt/sources.listĭeb kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware Both drivers were made available, along with release notes on January 31. A driver that covers the same set of updates, for Windows 10 and 11 users, is version 472.98 WHQL (opens in new tab). The new driver for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 (all 64-bit) users is called the GeForce Security Update Driver 473.04 WHQL (opens in new tab).
