Tutorial: Install Nvidia GPU Drivers on Centos 7


Installing GPU drivers on Linux has always been quite the headache.
This method uses nvidia-detect which simplifies the process.

Run the following commands:

1. 
rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
Imports the elrepo public key.

2.
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
Installs the elrepo rpm

3.
yum install nvidia-detect
Installs nvidia detect

4.
nvidia-detect -v
Lists the required drivers

5.
yum install $(nvidia-detect)
Installs the required drivers


Reboot your system after the drivers are installed and you will be able to access the nvidia control panel in your list of installed applications.

I hope this method will help you as as much as it helped me.

M0nkey out.
