I’ve been thinking about switching to Linux for a while, but there are some things that make me want to stay on Windows. For example, Gaming and installation of graphics card and software availability.
My G-Card was GT 730 2 GB ddr5.
Can I be able to play the games that Windows supported without losing frames?

This card requires legacy drivers. Getting this to work is going to be a pain and a half in the rear. I’ve done it before.
Basically, what you need to do is this:
- During OS installation it will install the modern GPU driver, which will not work with that GPU
- Once installed, boot the PC. You will very briefly see an error message during boot that the GPU isn’t supported by the driver.
- Now you first need to unload the current driver kernel module.
- Then unstall the current driver package in your package manager.
- Install the 470 legacy driver from the package manager
- Load the legacy kernel module
- Reboot and hope it all works.
Google how to do each of these steps, since they are a bit too complicated to get into it here, also they are dependant on the Linux distro you chose.
Btw: you will be losing frames. Support for legacy Nvidia GPUs isn’t great at all.
