Nvidia Geforce GT 710 Driver Installation

Question

I have Nvidia GeFore GT710 Graphics Card and facing issues with the driver installation. Though I am getting an option to nvidia-driver-470 tested version to install. Once installation, Graphic Card is not getting initiated and resolution is some 600X. System is only working on Nouveau display driver which is not performing at all and very lag in resolution. Pleas help.

1. Remove all the nvidia packages.

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade
   sudo apt autoremove
   sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
   sudo apt-get remove --purge "nvidia*"
   

2. If you have added an Nvidia PPA to /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ remove that PPA by prefacing its line in sources.list with a # to comment it out. Run sudo apt update to refresh the list of available software.

3. Reboot with sudo reboot /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

4. Run the following command to automatically select and install the Nvidia proprietary graphics driver and reboot.

   sudo ubuntu-drivers install && sudo reboot
   

After you have installed the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver with the above command it may be updated to a more up-to-date proprietary Nvidia graphics driver package by the normal software update activity.
