GTX 660 (Geforce 6 series) seems to be supported by almost any driver! 
Have you found these from shinobar? http://shinobar.server-on.net/puppy/opt/pup64/xenialpup64/ (If you prefer .pet to .sfs you can unsquash the sfs in a directory and use dir2pet on the directory.) After installation of the nvidia sfs/pet, don't let nvidia set up/configure. Just reboot immediately. Before installing the driver make sure nouveau is not loaded and will not be loaded on reboot. I do this by booting to the prompt with pfix=nox. Then execute

Getnvidia program will take care of Unloading the nouveau driver. It is hard to say what you are doing wrong, but it is something. Step by step info on what you do is the only way to find out. Just saying I tried a driver is not giving any useful info on what you may be doing wrong. Nvidia says you need the 430.26 driver. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/148435/en-us However, that is the latest version driver by Nvidia. The 340 or 383 driver pets, from the Xenialpup repository, should be able to support that old a Nvidia card. For some reason there are two pets for each driver. One smaller by half the size of the other. Make sure to try the larger pet. You say you are using Xenialpup64 7.5 Sorry, have to ask. You are not using the Xenialpup 7.5 (32bit)? You are downloading the correct bit version driver? Is Xenialpup a full or frugal install? _________________ The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I was answering to dancytron, who linked to nvidia's website to download nvidia's .run linux driver.
The .sfs drivers took care of nouveau too, I didn't have to do it.
Oh yeah! Those two worked, now I can run retroarch and it won't forcibly quit after a few seconds or minutes. I haven't tried it yet, but blender should detect the GPU now and it should let me use GPU acceleration for cycles. Thanks all! |
