The Debian drivers are outdated & have no/poor Vulkan support so you need to install them manually.
1 – Create a setup folder in an easy to find path from the terminal like /home/UserName/nvidia
2 – Download Nvidia Vulkan Drivers (ideally latest) to this folder (or move it there): nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/
3 – Create simple named text file scripts with .sh (instead of .txt or .doc) that will be executed as sh nameOfMySh.sh
3a – Create purge.sh (or p.sh) with the text inside: sudo apt-get remove –purge nvidia-*
3b – Create install.sh (or i.sh) with the text inside (edit the driver name to the one in the folder): sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-driverType.run
3c – Create kill.sh (or k.sh) with the text inside: sudo service slim stop
3d – Create start.sh (or s.sh) with the text inside: sudo service slim start
3e – Create options.sh (or o.sh) with the text inside: sudo nvidia-settings
4 – Write down or take a photo of these steps in case you forget.
5 – Close & save all apps.
6 – Double click kill.sh (or k.sh) to go into fullscreen Terminal mode.
6a – If this fails Open a Terminal inside of the Nvidia path or cd to it with: cd home/UserName/nvidia
6b – Type sh kill.sh (or k.sh).
7 – From fullscreen mode cd to the nvidia path by typing: cd home/UserName/nvidia
8 – Purge nvidia driver settings by typing: sh purge.sh (or sh p.sh)
9 – Install nvidia driver by typing: sh install.sh (or sh i.sh)
9a – Continue & add x-features to the driver. Driver may hang with warnings after 5 minutes of doing nothing.
9b – Manually reboot your computer with the physical reset button or by holding the power button (then power it back on).
10 – Login (you should be still in fullscreen terminal mode, if not repeat step 6-6b.
11 – Repeat step 7 to cd back to the nvidia path.
12 – Repeat step 9 to install the driver.
13 – This time the driver will ask you to Blacklist: make to sure enter yes.
14 – Installer will exit on finish back to the terminal. Reboot/restart by typing: sudo reboot
That’s it, the nvidia driver should now be installed upon reboot.
15 – After logging in check your nvidia settings by double clicking options.sh (or o.sh) in your nvidia path.
15a – If that fails check your nvidia settings by opening a terminal & typing: sudo nvidia-settings
