# GRAPHICS DRIVERS QUICKSTART - UBUNTU 18.04
Some of the newest titles available on Linux with Steam Play require cutting-edge drivers that are not distributed with the latest Ubuntu 18.04 release. To achieve the highest level of compatibility with Windows game titles, we recommend installing the following drivers.

2. Enter the following commands in terminal to add the required PPA repository:
Linux users with NVIDIA graphics cards should install the latest NVIDIA proprietary drivers; version 396.51 is required. They can be installed directly from Canonical's repository for third-party drivers:
```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
3. Provide your user password when requested.
4. Open Software and Updates.
5. Select the Additional Drivers tab.
6. Choose nvidia-driver-396  
7. Click Apply Changes (this can take several minutes).
8. Provide your user password when requested.  
9. Log out of user or reboot to ensure the driver has updated correctly.  
sudo apt install nvidia-396
```
Provide your user password when requested and reboot after the last command completes to ensure the driver has updated correctly.  
Further details about this PPA repository are available here:
https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
AMD/Intel
Linux users with AMD or Intel graphics cards should install the latest release of Padoka, a development version of the Mesa 3D Graphics Library: https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa
## AMD/Intel
Linux users with AMD or Intel graphics cards should install recent versions of Mesa and LLVM through this repository: https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa
```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/mesa
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

Provide your user password when requested and reboot after the last command completes to ensure the driver has updated correctly.
In addition, AMD users that want to play VR games should also add this repository: https://launchpad.net/~kisak/+archive/ubuntu/steamvr4pk
