I am having a strange issue. I accidentally upgrade to nvidia-driver-550 and I am having serious lagging issues.
It's quite noticeable when using the keyboard or clocking around.
How do I know the lagging is GPU related?
- I reverted to nouveau driver and everything works amazing however due to the number of screen I have the CPU just goes nuts so I want to use the GPU.
What have I tried?
- I have tried using ubuntu-drivers to install version 525. But it think it's already installed.
- I have purged all nvidia using
sudo apt-get --purge remove *nvidia* - I have tried installing 525 as follows
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-525- However if you study the packages it just reinstall 550 after rebooting you can see it's 550 not 525.

- I have tried install
nvidia-dkms-525to try resolve the last issue but no luck.
I am out of ideas and I only solution is to reinstall and setup my dev machine which is a pain in the but to be honest
I am running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
