don't know before nvidia started coming up on the restricted driver list 
for my system I would get it here.  This matches your card and OS.  If 
you download the driver and it matches what you have then yes.  
Otherwise it wouldn't hurt if it is the appropriate driver.  The install 
is easier than it may seem.
