Is that driver the proprietary driver?

#

Looks like some form of nouveau.

#

These open drivers can only drive a display. Poor performance. If you want animations and gaming, install the proprietary driver.

The driver I'm using is the open source driver that is provided from Nvidia, not the nouveau driver. Here is a link from Nvidia that explains it: https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/545.29.06/README/kernel_open.html

The open kernel version can't be used to play games. If you want to play games, either install the NVK driver or use a proprietary driver.
