i'm currently learning linux but i'm familiar with Computers. I am using Kali 32bit i386 2.0 with kernel 4.3.--(BASED ON DEBIAN) my problem is i can't play games with wine on the high speed as i could on my windows 7. I searched and found out There is no proper driver for nvidia Gpu comes installed. I have Nvidia-620-M model gpu with 3d acceleration and when i run glxinfo | grep OpenGL it shows like this Something like this...

It tells me i am using Intel GPU instead of nvidia one which can be possible because my intel card also can work as GPU.i know because i installed once intel gpu drivers on my windows 7 and all the programs (including games like max payne 3) switched from nvidia to intel but couldn't run in proper speed cuz i guess my intel gpu doesn't have proper 3d acceleration.

So i want to know how can i make my nvidia gpu 3d acceleration properly work? everything else in my pc working fine.

ThanksInAdvance.

edit:i currently have noveau driver for my nvidia gpu which was preinstalled.

lspci shows this. Please check .

Based on this link nvidia-361 is the driver for 620

First uninstall the currently installed NVIDIA drivers. Boot the computer, when the GRUB menu appears ...In your case i am seeing it's not there but just to be on the safer side.

Highlight the Ubuntu menu entry and press the E key. Add nouveau.modeset=0 to the end of the linux line. Press F10 to boot the Ubuntu operating system.

When the login screen appears press Ctrl+Alt+F1. Enter your user name and the password, then execute :

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*  
sudo reboot

Now install the latest official stable NVIDIA drivers. Boot the computer, when the GRUB menu appears ...

Highlight the Ubuntu menu entry and press the E key. Add nouveau.modeset=0 to the end of the linux line. Press F10 to boot the Ubuntu operating system.

When the login screen appears press Ctrl+Alt+F1. Enter your user name and the password, then execute :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-361
sudo reboot

Note : Maybe it is explicitly necessary to select the NVIDIA adapter in BIOS. When you want to use drivers 361, adding the PPA is not necessary. In this case the terminal commands you have to perform are these :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-361
sudo reboot

In case you have installed the nvidia driver from their site then uninstall it as per that instructions.Uninstall that driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run and follow the on screen instructions

Note : The solution I have provide has been tested on Ubuntu...
