if you download the appropriate drivers from the nVidia unix drivers page: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
then copy the drivers to the offline workstation (with usb drive/cd/whatever), then you should be able to install them from there. There's some instuctions on that page i think how to install the drivers too hope this helps, good luck with it

Easiest thing would be to download LinuxMint. It's Ubuntu with all those proprietary drivers.
http://linuxmint.com/ You'll want to download the "Main Edition" Should be 100% compatible with Ubuntu. |

Also, a good little program for graphics card drivers is Envy.
I know a number of people who have found it very useful
