That's a Kepler chip so you need the 470 versions...

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA Driver Install for HP DV7

Hello again. I could not get the good performance from nvidia so what's the safe way to remove nvidia from my system?

I read some articles, they said that nvidia has patching something on kernel and should not be remove directly or the system will broke.

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA Driver Install for HP DV7

You can just remove  all the nvidia-470xx packages you've installed and remove a potential /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you created one.
