#NVIDIA 960M DRIVER SAYS ITS NOT COMPATIBLE INSTALL#

It has 4GB of dedicated VRAM and in this case GDDR5 type. It features 640 CUDA cores or simply shading units, along with 32 ROPs and 53 texture units. It is part of the Maxwell family of GPUs. I am confused as none of the 2 worked for me and i don't know what i am doing wrong. The GeForce GTX 960M (4GB GDDR5) is placed as a high-end graphics card, but used mostly in budget gaming laptops. Some say that xorg isn't compatible with Nvidia drivers and other say the same thing about Wayland. What distro should i go for and what display server.

#NVIDIA 960M DRIVER SAYS ITS NOT COMPATIBLE INSTALL#

I own a GT 705 and a GTX 950 and i would like to install both drivers for each GPU (390 and 440 if i recall correctly). I suspect it has to do with the nouveau driver, but when i tried to install Nvidia drivers for both my cards i had no video output or Xorg would just give an error on boot (same problem with Fedora using Wayland as well). I got into VFIO and setup a Manjaro host with 2 virtual machines with GPU pass-through but whenever i disconnect each gpu from the vm and reattach it back to the host the fans run at 100% (and usually lead to a crash).
