Hello, It's often a pain to get these drivers working properly; here are some hints about how to install the drivers on Ubuntu 14.04, reboot in console mode:
mount -o remount,rw / apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* R ​eboot and go to the drivers manager (hope there's something similar on Mint) Use the 331.38 from nvidia-331 (proprietary, tested), like on the image above. Reboot, open Nvidia X server settings application and go in PRIME Profiles panel, make sure it's on Nvidia (performance mode). Note that you have to log in again for changes to take effect (or maybe even reboot, can't remember). After that OpenCL works great on my test machine (Dell Precision M6700) Bye 2014-10-28 21:44 GMT+01:00 Hans Petter Birkeland <[email protected]>: > I tried to install the 343.22 driver from Nvidia's website yesterday > evening and it was a complete disaster.
