Hi, I would like to now if there is any closed source nvidia driver (the better one for gaming) for Nvidia Quadro FX1800. I wanted to show my brother some of linuxon my old laptop and I don't want to make him bugged off by lack of gaming on it.

You need version 340. IDK what distro you have so I cannot tell you how to install it, or if it is even available.

Most distributions will work using the .run file. They just needs to make sure to kill any display manager running before installing.
