Considering the hostilty of that company against the FOSS community,
and adding their various frauds (eg. less vram than officially sold)
I would never ever buy anything from them.

I've got no idea how well nouveau works nowadays, but their proprietary
crap always had been practically unusable since back in the 90th.

Colin might have got there first but I'm still happy I get an extra year. :)

April 2019, not 2018 (LTS is 5 years, not 4).

I am very happy to be corrected on that - that means an extra year
without me having to worry about rebuilding a load of servers. :D

Trusty is EOL in about 10 months (April 2018); if you're upgrading
hardware you should probably be installing 16.04 on it.

As far as I'm aware the easiest way to get updated drivers is to use the
Graphics Driver Team PPA:

[14.04] nVidia GeForce 1080TI

2017-06-01 Thread Sebastian Busse
Hello maintainers,

first of all: thank you for your efforts.

We are thinking of upgrading to current nVidia graphics cards. As far as I can 
see, the GeForce 1080 is supported since 367.27 while the GeForce 1080 TI is 
supported since 381.09.
In Trusty Tahr, we seem to have access to 375 in the repositories.

Do you plan on providing a version of the nVidia drivers >= 381.09 in the 
trusty repos?

Thank you very much,
Sebastian Busse
