= Proprietary drivers =
There are several drivers that allow Nvidia GPUs to work:
 
* Nouveau is the stable 3rd-party open-source driver. You probably have it by default.
* Nvidia's proprietary kernel module.
* Nvidia's open-source kernel module, which is beta-quality and x11-only.
* Nvidia's mesa-nvk.
 
Nvidia's proprietary drivers are not enabled by default. To overcome this, refer to the [https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/#sec-x11-graphics-cards-nvidia method] in the NixOS Manual.
