Ubuntu 18.04 not recognizing my graphics card (I think)?












0














I have a problem with my Ubuntu being in a low resolution and only being able to use one screen out of my two. The resolution is 1024x768 so I guess my graphics card is not being recognized by ubuntu.



My graphics card is: Nvidia MSI GeForce RTX 2070 8GB



Running sudo lshw -C video gives me the following:



   description: VGA compatible controller
product: NVIDIA Corporation
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation


Both screens work fine in windows (I have dual boot ubuntu and windows 10).



Anyone got any idea why this is?

  • I can test in a while, but I guess it would be the same as above
