Terrible performance on newest pc game Final Fantasy XVI. some suggest to install the latest supported drivers as a fix.
currently using 535.183.01 ever since.
GPU: RTX 3070 Ti mobile
I'll warn you to start with that a lot of people have reported problems with the 560 drivers in Linux. However, what you want should be possible. Follow Aravisian's instructions here, but change every 555 to 560:
I did check, and nvidia-driver-560 IS 560.35.03. (to check, follow the instructions above far enough to add the PPA, then sudo apt update and apt list nvidia-driver-560.

Or.. stick with 555.
It's what I've had to do personally, but the OP cited a specific version, down to the minor version, needed to resolve performance issues in FFXVI. Given that it JUST came out for PC, and Nvidia releases game specific optimizations and bug fixes in their driver updates, the OP may have no choice. That said, since they're coming from 535, it wouldn't hurt to try 555 on the way up.
Edit: Aravisian, as often as people (myself and others) have linked to your post in my old help thread, do you think it should get a post in Howtos and Tutorials? My original thread should probably be allowed to die at some point, since it was a specific request for help and keeps growing.

I have closed it for you.
Nvidia Driver tutorials pop up but seem to get outdated or changed in some way... Maybe that is why. Also the autoinstall deprecation made older terminal commands defunct. Since Nvidia releases drivers often enough.
I will consider making a Tutorial that covers the basics though;
- Adding the graphics-drivers ppa
- Adding the xswat ppa
- Installing per
nvidia-driver-xxx

I have the same card, driver 555 works great for this card. Do not use driver 560, that one gives you black screens of death (you cant do anything when the system suspends). Also games with proton dont work anymore with 560.
thank you all for replying. It seems i might try make a jump to 555 drivers and see how it goes. I'll give a feedback on how everything performs in my machine.
"Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libnvidia-gl-555 : Depends: libnvidia-egl-wayland1 but it is not going to be installed"
umm...? @Aravisian
You need to
first.
Run
sudo apt --fix-broken install
I highly recommend not using Nvidia on Wayland.
I have tried logging in through only all 4 options presented
Ubuntu
Ubuntu on Xorg
Zorin Desktop
Zorin Desktop on Xorg
in all of them my GPU is neither detected nor registered and this is what prompted in the system info
Graphics: REMBRANDT (rembrandt, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 3.54, 6.5.0-17-generic)
At the moment i reverted and will stay in 535 as its the most stable of many drivers i've tested.
Which Nvidia card do you have?
RTX 3070 TI mobile
somehow might have accidentally solved it myself
this method was the issue
sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-driver-555 nvidia-dkms-555
i managed to install it with this
sudo apt install --install-recommends nvidia-driver-555
Well done... this is interesting.
I wonder if this is due to Zorin OS 17 defaulting to Wayland, which I do not experience this due to me not running on Wayland at all. (My system does not even have it.)
I will amend the tutorial.
Apparently, switching from 535 to 555 was not an improvement. Everything ran,just much worse as quite literally everything is running at 20fps . this might be compatibility issues but checking dkms reports no error. guess i should wait for new updates or patches or mods for awhile to comfortably play in a smooth experience.
@Aravisian the timing on this makes me a little nervous. Sambridges was specifically working on getting a new driver when this happened. I on the other hand was already on 555 with everything in working order when I ran Zorin's GUI software updater last night and got a response that only a partial upgrade would be performed. I wish I'd saved more output, but that package was the issue for me, too, when the partial upgrade finished and I checked details (again, in the GUI). Suspicious/curious, I did a manual sudo apt upgrade and that package was held back, with apt also saying I had broken dependencies. I ran Steam later that night, and it had a PLETHORA of broken dependencies, but being Valve software, offered to fix them itself when I hit enter. I did, and it launched did its thing and launched.
NOW sudo apt upgrade shows me all caught up with nothing held back, apt list --upgradeable shows nothing at all, and apt list libnvidia-egl-wayland1 reports
libnvidia-egl-wayland1/jammy,now 1:1.1.15-0ubuntu0~gpu22.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libnvidia-egl-wayland1/jammy-updates 1:1.1.9-1.1ubuntu0.1 i386
That makes sense, but I'm almost certain (again, I really wish I'd saved last night's output) the i386 architecture was actually installed when Zorin was reporting I had a broken dependency. That Sambridges experienced this while specifically working on drivers while I had it just doing a software update on the same night makes me want to raise it as something to have in the back of the mind if more users start having similar reports.

I am currently on the 555, but no Wayland is on my system so.... That may be why I am not seeing this.
I have checked updates the last couple days due to other packages.
I'm not using Wayland, but also not quite confident enough for a surgical extraction. The one thing I miss about the Linux installers I used in the late 90s/early 00s was package selection rather than just full or minimal. No, end users probably shouldn't be expected to decide whether or not they need CUPS (I specifically remember that one for some reason...), but if I know Wayland's never going to run...

There are many distros without it.
