nvidia - Driver for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS that supports GTX 1050 TI graphics card


Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 LTS has an open source driver that supports an NVIDIA Gtx 1050 ti graphics card?


My CPU is an Intel E2140.



The proprietary Nvidia graphics driver can be installed in Ubuntu 18.04 from the terminal with the following commands:


sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
sudo reboot

When installing a proprietary graphics driver, it is not necessary to uninstall the built-in open source graphics driver. The two graphics drivers can be installed alongside each other allowing the open source graphics driver to be used as a fallback alternative in case there is a problem using the proprietary graphics driver.


The ubuntu-drivers autoinstall command installs drivers that are appropriate for automatic installation including their dependencies, and the Nvidia driver will also be updated automatically when an update is available.
