In this video I walk you through step by step the procedure I use to install Nvidia graphics drivers in Debian 9 Stretch Stable. Hope you enjoy!
Show Notes:
Nvidia Driver Install in Debian 9 Stretch (Stable)

add contrib and non-free to sources via synaptic
sign in as root
In Terminal:
apt-get update
apt-get install nvidia-detect
nvidia-detect (to identify your Nvidia GPU and verify required driver package)
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get install libavcodec-extra
apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
apt-get install vlc gimp smplayer

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-driver
reboot

After nvidia drivers are installed: (optional)
apt-get install nvidia-smi (communicates your gpu temp to sensors/conky)
apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 (required if you want gaming through steam)
