According to the /Readme
/https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers

    /FFmpeg version of headers required to interface with Nvidias codec
    APIs./
    /Corresponds to Video Codec SDK version 12.0.16./
    /Minimum required driver versions:/
    /Linux: 550.54.14 or newer/

As shown in my previous post, the legacy (2015) NV-GF GTX 960 runs with 
the following nv driver version on Slowroll:

    Graphics:
       Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 530 driver: i915 v: kernel
       Device-2: NVIDIA GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] driver: nvidia v: 550.135
