just run the files, and read the instructions that come with them from the nvidia site.
they are self installing packages.

You can't run the drivers with a running xserver, so do ctrl+F1 to get a console login, "sudo init 3" to shut down xserver.
Than cd /path to your nvidia folder/
chmod 775 xyz-nvidia-driver.run
./xyz-nvidia-driver.run
You have to install kernel sources first with your package manager.
Hope this helps. mib

To use Octane in Linux, you must install nvidia-cuda-sdk package, and the latest nvidia-drivers.
I wasn't made speedtest to compare Win7 and Linux version, but I thonk it must be same.
