I have a system with two graphics cards. The integrated one (Intel 630) and an nVidia. Monitor is connected to Intel HDMI port. My aim is to have the PC display(Ubuntu desktop etc..) on Intel and dedicate the nVidia card for CUDA operatations.
nVidia works fine.
Ubuntu desktop is getting displayed but its performance is poor. Video playback flickers and the CPU gets immediately hogged. Its apparent that the driver for intel card fails to be loaded thus the video processing goes to CPU.
On system details, I see:
Graphics: llvmpipe (LLVM 9.0, 256 bits) - which confirms the above suspicion.
Hardware seems to be correctly recognized:

Everyone pretty much suggests that the Intel driver should be automatically installed by Ubuntu. Seems that this is not the case. Any help will be highly appreciated!
