Did anyone installed drivers for Nvidia GTX1070?

[s1782662]

Hello,

I have a laptop Alienware 17 r5 Nvidia GTX1070. I heard good comments from my friends about manjaro. I am curious to use this distribution. Before installing, does manjaro supports this graphics card?. The intention behind asking this is, Every time I install Linux (Ubuntu), I end up with black display. Currently, I have windows, am I holding myself to install. I wanted to know did anyone had a smooth installation of Nvidia. Thanks

does manjaro supports this graphics card?

Yes.
If this laptop only has the GTX in it, just install the nvidia driver with Manjaro Settings Manager, or choose "non-free" in the ISO's Grub menu.

[HowTo] Set up PRIME (output offload) with NVIDIA proprietary driver

The latest versions of Xorg, kernel, and NVIDIA driver all support PRIME output but setting this up is a bit of a faff. What follows is a method to get this working on an Optimus-enabled laptop. 440xx update: If you have something which supports driver series 440xx then you should switch to video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime and ignore this guide (unless you want to use only the dGPU). Specify using the dGPU with e.g. prime-run glxinfo. Note: Fermi-based GPUs should use nvidia-390xx inste…

No, I am just enquirying whether this distributions supports or not ?.

Searching the forum for "GTX1070" shows that some Manjaro users have this hardware.

[anon23612428]

Manjaro supports any modern nvidia graphics chip including the 1070, but sometimes dual graphics (Intel+nvidia) can be a bit problematic. Manjaro has all the necessary tools and documentaiton to get it to work though.
