Hey there gents, recently switching myself over to Linux (Mint) . I run gtx 750ti and am hoping someone could point me to a link or post how to install latest drivers on Mint 17.1.
Struggling with it any help is appreciated, thanks.

I struggled too. Fixed by putting 'nomodeset' in Grub (Google it) which gave me a prompt with Ctrl+Alt+F1 (before nomodeset I got only a black screen).

So download driver
edit Grub - sudo nano etc/default/grub
reboot - don't login
Ctrl+Alt+F1
sudo service mdm stop
cd Downloads (is driver install file there?)
sh NVIDIA.........
follow instructions(?)
Out for rest of afternoon, I'll help you more if needed after 17:00 Zulu

Thank you for the help, I have yet to try it out but makes sense, I would also only get black screen at Ctrl+Alt+F1, so this seems to be my next step, will post if successful
