When I wanted to explore the Cudas and nvenc issue with my Nvidia GTX-750ti card I received the message that the Nvidia driver version (384.130) provided by my Linux Mint 18.3 was too old. Even version 19.1 of Linux Mint is not recent enough (390.116). I hope that the release of Linux Mint 19.2 (maybe next month), will bring the necessary version of the Nvidia driver (390.25 or newer). If so, I could consider replacing my Mint and reinstalling and reconfiguring all my used software. I think it is possible to update only the Nvidia driver on a version of Mint that does not offer it but I prefer to wait for the version of Mint that will include it. Perhaps it is the same under your distribution. Pierre On 19-06-28 02 h 21, Andrea paz wrote:
3) buy a really cool new board, and then spend the next few weeks regretting the breakage of opening your machine.
Thank you, it's good news to know that it depends on my old GPU. I'm inclined towards option 3 as in a couple of months I'll be moving from notebook to desktop.
