To know which one should you pick, use the following command in terminal:

ubuntu-drivers devices | grep recommended

It will return the recommended video driver for your machine.

If ubuntu-drivers is not found, run the following command in terminal to install it:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common
