Open Terminal

  1. $ apt search nvidia-driver

  2. $ apt-cache search nvidia-driver

  3. $ sudo apt update

  4. $ sudo apt upgrade

  5. $ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-<the number it shows you. In my case 460$ >

  6. reboot

  7. Verify the installation with: nvidia-smi

Hope it was helpful

For me this worked
Otherwise I wouldnt have suggested it ^^

I have a Ubuntu 20.04 and a nVidia RTX2080 Super in my System.
Together with Wine its actually really effective to also play games on Linux.
Eventhough AMD is easier because Linux actively supports AMD but not nVidia
