nvidia - Installing GTX 970 Ubuntu 16.04




I have been following the answers of many questions on here and I have finally managed to install the correct drivers and my GTX 970 works with Ubuntu 16.04.



The only problem is that it's locked at a low resolution, 1024x768 at 4:3 aspect ratio.



How can I enable it to go full 1080p?



Output for



lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D':


01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] GM204 [GeForce GTX 970]
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_367, nvidia_367_drm


My integrated Intel graphics aren't showing up anymore, probably because I've got the GPU plugged in via HDMI rather than the motherboard.



I installed the drivers by following the answer from cl-netbox on here:



How do I install the Nvidia drivers?




You need to disable SecureBoot in your UEFI (BIOS) settings.
