Driver for Asus graphic card

Hello,

I want to switch to Arch Linux and I have a Asus graphic card (OC version, NVIDIA). On the NVIDIA-side I found a driver for Arch Linux and the standard version of the graphic card.
Asus don't provide a driver-version for Linux and this graphic card. Do I have output losses, if I don't use the original NVIDIA-Arch-driver and not the Asus graphic-driver?

Thank you!

Re: Driver for Asus graphic card

Have a good read of the Nvidia page. You need to determine the codename for the card and then install the appropriate driver for it.
Asus is irrelevant here. Asus just bundled the hardware for the Nvidia card together and it is the Nvidia that needs the driver.
Which card is this anyway?
