Installing a new nvidia driver

The following commands are to be run from a terminal window to install the latest (BETA) NVIDIA drivers:

First, set up the graphics-drivers ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

Then update and install drivers:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-370

Hope this helps!

Assuming you are on the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 16.04, the latest driver for the Nvidia 860M is version 367.44.

You should be able to install from Terminal,

sudo apt-get install nvidia-367

This should replace your old driver with the new version.
