I don't want to go round jumble sales looking for old cards that will 
work. According to NVIDIA 470 is "legacy". There's likely to be the 
problem that such a card will be too old for the other OSes on the same PC.

I'll probably give the text installer a go with the 550.144.03 driver 
from NVIDIA.
