If you are using Open source drivers you can change your desktop resolution from Displays app search it in your dash<-- dash is the search thing you have.

If you want to install newest nvidia drivers You should use ppa

If you want to use the latest and greatest versions of nvidia drivers you should use this ppa “xorg crack pushers” team But I must worn you that this drivers are after beta versions so think twice before updating you might better of sticking to the version you can install from your additional drivers menu. Personally I have been using it for quite some time and no problem with that ppa.

There are many ways to install this but I did it like so

First add ppa to your source list

Open terminal and type this in it and press enter

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

after it is finished type

sudo apt-get update

now open software & updates app select additional drivers and you will see new nvidia driver version enter image description here select it and press apply changes ignore that in the end it is written (open source) it is not open source drivers they are proprietary. after it will finish installing drivers reboot your pc and you will be using your new drivers. now you have your nvidia control panel in your dash and can change settings from it enter image description here

Do not worry about the updates it will automatically download the latest nvidia drivers from now on

one more thing welcome to fantastic Linux/Ubuntu community hope you will enjoy the ride
