www.nvidia.com, they make there own drivers and explain how to use them, if you have trouble doa search everyone asks about them the first time and then never ever has problems again, me for example, 4 years ago I started with the first nvidia linux release and it took me a good month, I have done it again and again with new versions every month for the past 4 years and it is so easy I can't believe it
