)
He advises to use `pkg search nvidia`, and then pick out the driver that works for your card.
Because I didn't know which driver to install I posed the question on stackoverflow sister website superuser.com (link: https://superuser.com/questions/1740564/how-do-i-know-which-nvidia-driver-to-install-for-freebsd)
There I was informed that I should instead install using `pkg install nvidia-driver` instead of search through a list of drivers.
Yet another person commented that I should download and install the gpu drivers from the official nvidia website.
What approach is considered best practice?
Please provide proof from within the FreeBSD documentation or other official material if possible
