Note for Intel integrated graphics users: Only Skylake, Kaby Lake, and Coffee Lake offer full Vulkan support. Broadwell, Haswell and Ivy Bridge only offer partial support, which may not work with a lot of games. Sandy Bridge and older lack any Vulkan support whatsoever.
Arch / Manjaro / Other Arch derivatives:
First, enable multilib.
To enable multilib repository, uncomment the [multilib] section in /etc/pacman.conf

Install Latest Nvidia Drivers Linux Mint 18
Ubuntu and its derivatives like elementary OS, Linux Mint, etc. ship with Nouveau default video driver for use with the nvidia GPUs. This does a great job and most of the users should be happy with it. They are easy to update, and gets lot of testing in Ubuntu community. Therefore, one would expect less number of bugs in it.
The only drawback is they are not up-to-date when compared with the official version released by nvidia. Having said that, the official ones comes with a bigger set of problems. Obviously, since the latest driver is not tested with Ubuntu, you will see more issues than the ones available in the Ubuntu’s tested PPA.

Keeping all these in mind, I recommend to install nvidia drivers from PPA repository for a stable PC. It does get automatic updates.

Install nvidia drivers in elementary OS Loki
Ubuntu and Linux Mint users can skip STEP 1 & 2.
STEP 1: Starting from Loki, elementary OS doesn’t support PPA. So let’s first enable it. Launch ‘Terminal’ and run the following commands one at a time:
STEP 2: This command will enable PPA and you can use apt-get again in elementary OS.
STEP 3: Let’s install video graphic sources.
STEP 4: Update again.
STEP 5: Finally you need to know which nvidia drivers should you install. You can check the latest PPA graphic builds here. Current official (Feb 2017) release is nvidia-370 (370.28). GeForce 8 and 9 series GPUs users need to use ‘nvidia-340’ (340.98) and GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs users should be using ‘nvidia-304’ (304.132) in the command below. Use 3 digit number accordingly.
If you are still on nvidia optimus, use the bumblebee instead of above command:
Good luck!
