Marking the bug as Invalid since apparently that readme file only
applies to Windows.

Even the Linux driver 440 does in fact support support Kepler cards.

Title:
  Nvidia driver 418 for Focal doesn't support Kepler cards

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-418 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Nvidia driver 418 for Focal now installs version 430, which doesn't
  support Kepler cards.

  With my card (Nvidia GT 750M) I should be able to use version 418
  (https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-
  x86_64/418.113/README/supportedchips.html).

  However, the nvidia-driver-418 package installs version 430, which
  doesn't support my card (https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-
  x86_64/430.50/README/supportedchips.html). Therefore, I am forced to
  use version 390 instead.

  Is there any reason for this redirection? Looking at the version
  number it sounds like I'd be better off installing 418 instead of 390,
  but I am unable to do so at this point.
