Hi,
Thanks for all your help, just starting upgrading to Debian 11. Reasons for
going with nvidia was it was the cheapest thing I could find, passively
cooled, and I do a bit of stuff with Cuda so nvidia is the only game in
town. I am using nouveau at the moment, thank god, I'd hate to do this with
nvidia kernel drivers!

Thanks
James
