Notice how Kernel driver in use & Kernel modules from lspci are using nouveau, signalling the open-source driver for NVIDIA cards. They nvidia-detect package may fail in places due to Kali being a rolling distribution as it requires a stable release. Failed to identify your Debian suite.Ġ1:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M (rev a2)įlags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 132, IOMMU group 10 To detect the NVIDIA card, we need to install nvidia-detect: :~$ sudo apt install -y nvidia-detectĠ1:00.0 3D controller : NVIDIA Corporation GM108M (rev a2)Ĭhecking card: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M (rev a2)

You can see what the primary card is by doing: :~$ lspci | grep -i vgaĠ0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02) You may also not even see NVIDIA listed at all.
