    I had a similar issue with my Mint installation earlier this year as well. I have a 2080Ti, and the default drivers and the drivers I kept getting prompted to install would always cause my resolution to be potato quality. I never did figure out how to squash that.

      For me I just figured it was an unfortunate hardware incompatibility, but there are other distros that are specifically built around Nvidia compatibility, so I’ll pick one of those when I make the switch.

      default is open source nouveau driver, and it’s indeed bad. i use proprietary ones and i get them by searching from the software center for “nvidia driver” and just pick the newest one. i have 3060 ti and for a long time mint was the only distro that did not give me any issues. since version 550 i can use other distros too without any problems.
