I've just installed Ubuntu and I am trying to get into gaming with it.
I have a problem that all my games are very choppy with low FPS. I'm not sure if it's using my Nvidia GeForce 1050 .
I have set up Steam Play. I've installed and tried Left 4 Dead 2, American Truck Sim, GMod, and Euro Truck Sim and they all have low FPS. I also tried to run Monster Hunter World which is Windows only. I tried to get it to work with proton but it wouldn't even launch so I didn't bother with it any further.
When I open "Software & Updates > Additional Drivers" it shows:
NVIDIA Corporation: GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050] This device is using a manually-installed driver. Then it lists a bunch of things that start with "Using Nvidia driver" or "using Nvidia server". None of them are highlighted, the only option at the bottom that is selected says "Continue using a manually installed driver".
I see beside each option is "(proprietary, tested)" or just "(proprietary)" for the Nvidia drivers, and they're all greyed out. The only thing that mentions manually installed is "Continue using a manually installed driver" which is the only option I have the ability to select.
What should I do?
Fixed! Thank you everyone for your help. I'm a little dumb and didn't realized that the drivers being greyed out meant I didn't have them!
