Yes.  See the Help Manual's Video Drivers section.

Please don't bump your own threads. People will answer when they have the time to. Many people here have other life responsibilities. Cheers :)

WinRocks4343,

The Help Manual's Video Drivers section says to go to Menu > Settings > Install Drivers.

WinRocks4343,

You don't have to uninstall, just install the Nvidia proprietary, tested one........(you're gonna make me say it)......like the manual shows.  In my own defense, I pointed you to the direct section covering that, twice.

I don't expect everyone to be like me.  I was drawn to this distro partly because of the documentation.  Before it was laid out in tiles like it is today, it was one long webpage.  I read it all.  It would behoove you to do the same.  I don't expect you will, but at least go over the sections I or those on the forum mention.

Truth be told, I don't even know how to uninstall nouveau.  I do know how to select the latest proprietary driver, though.  For all I know, it uninstalls nouveau as part of its install.

I found this (http://www.linuxsecrets.com/blog/15questions-troubleshooting/2015/09/10/1651-how-to-remove-nouveau-and-install-nvidia-drivers) but am unsure what needs altering from it to make an efficient and concise tutorial for Linux Lite.

Hello,
the link I posted was for if anyone else wanted to make a LL tutorial that was suitable for future.

You should follow the help given from torreydale.

WinRocks4343,

For your screen tearing, it could be as simple as going to Window Manager Tweaks (Menu, Settings, Window Manager Tweaks) and enabling the "Synchronize drawing to the vertical blank" option under the Compositor tab.  If that doesn't work, consider installing Compton.
