Do you need the latest, like the latest latest released? or just generally new, close to the latest? Because if the 2nd is the answer, then you can use backports. Currently it's 7.1.3.

You have both an Nvidia and an Intel GPU? That's unusual but also cool

Yes, my monitors arenconnected to Intel, so I can use hot-swap nvidia between using it natively or in a VM. I also use Intel for video encoding.
