      Yes. You have access to both the official, proprietary Nvidia drivers (difficult to improve or configure but best for gaming), and the open source “Nouveau” drivers (which I would consider more “Works for Tails and for a full FOSS ecosystem”, but horrible for games).

      No need to visit Nvidia’s website either - you should have 3rd party driver installers built into your distro (and can upgrade/downgrade as needed).

      Nvidia 9, 10-series support is quite poor. Your experience at best will still be worse than AMD, Intel, or more modern Nvidia cards running the nvidia-open kernel modules with the latest Nvidia drivers.

      I was playing on one for awhile before I upgraded. It works but the drivers updates are hit and miss sometimes and I think they ended support(or was planning on it) for the card with the proprietary drivers. You should still be able to run off opensource drivers.

        other way around. All cards 2000 series and newer use the new open driver. 1000 series and below use only the closed/proprietary driver
