You are welcome. Before you buy a new card just to get the driver to compile, you should be able to get help on-line. For example, the problem with 390.87 is that kernel 5.0 removed do_gettimeofday(). The fix for an out-of-kernel driver that I maintain was as follows:
#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(5, 0, 0)) u64 ts; ts = ktime_get_boottime(); return ts/1000; #else struct timeval tv; do_gettimeofday(&tv); return ((u64)tv.tv_sec * 1000000) + tv.tv_usec; #endif
I have not looked at the nVidia code, but the changes will be similar.
That $300 price for a 6GB GTX1060Ti looks a bit high. I just purchased a 6 GB GTX1660Ti from Newegg.com for $290. I would expect the 1060 to be closer to $200. One thing to watch is the size of the card. The new one was a tight squeeze in the Dell box. The 1660 is nearly twice as fast as the 1060 in most tests.
tks. what I was looking at is: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GAMING OC 6G Graphics Card, 3 x WINDFORCE Fans, 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6, GV-N166TGAMING OC-6GD Video Card $299 at newegg I believe the difference is three fans on this card and it is the 1660 rather that 1060 and the case I have is quite large and unless I measured incorrectly it will fit. are you happy with yours? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
