...you don't have to wait for the download to finish, download external scripts or compile anything from scratch.

One second or less is enough before you stat using hardware acceleration in your apps.

The above function is inspired by Conty's NVIDIA_HANDLER=2, and is 100% compatible with Conty.

What's Changed

• Archimage 4.1 - use Nvidia drivers from host system by @ivan-hc in #28
