What are is the LATEST STABLE proprietary drivers for UBUNTU 16.04 and NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 (4gb)? There are simply too many answers which I have compiled below:

  1. Nvidia site says 450(450.66) is the latest for GTX 1050 (not Ubuntu version specific)

    • download from Nvidia site and install
    • apt-get has its own install sudo apt-get nvidia-\*\*450\*\*,
  2. Additional drivers tab in Software and Updates only shows version 390

    • Note: graphics-drivers PPA's have not been added yet.
  3. launchpad says 430 (430.40)

    Current long-lived branch release: nvidia-430 (430.40) Dropped support for Fermi series ()

  4. Launchpad also says old branch for GeForce 10 series (1050) is 390.129

    Old long-lived branch release: nvidia-390 (390.129) For GF1xx GPUs use nvidia-390 (390.129)

  5. Launchpad here shows overview of packages (scroll down).

    Here the version names contain 16.04 for 430.

  6. Ubuntu recommended drivers shows different version for ubuntu. If I go by this then only 384 has supported versions for 16.04 (Xenial Xerus)

These are some ofthe links I looked into:
