Apparently the Nvidia 319 drivers have been out for a while now, but the latest you can download in ubuntu is 313? I NEED the latest drivers, but I've read over and over again that if I install them manually via the nvidia website that I'll run into issues when ubuntu updates drop.
What do I do? I have an Nvidia 670 and I'm getting crappy performance with the 313 drivers.
First, sorry for your troubles. Things don't always work as expected, and software isn't perfect.
Most of the packages in the Ubuntu repositories are somewhat outdated. Like it or not, this is the way it has been since the beginning. The next version of Ubutnu, due in October, should have the 319 driver in the repositories, tested and ready to use.
You can remove the manually installed Nvidia driver if it causes problems. No need to reformat anything.
