Just recently got into the linux scene, so bear with me
I installed Zorin 16 Pro and have been having a hard time with my Nvidia drivers it seems. My monitor is also kinda not really recognized? In the trial version of Zorin I was able to change my resolution and refresh rate, but now I cant.
As you can see in the screenshot Im kinda limited
Next to that, It seems like I am unable to get any good performance on any video game, say Minecraft or World of Warcraft, all these games run like trash for some reason.
Hi, have you tried nvidia-settings for switching resolution? Which driver are you using? (guessing it's v. 470 with that powerhorse card you have). I don't know if your card is supported in driver v.460 but I have glitches with my 1070 card on v.470 so I switch driver.
Correct! Im using the 470 right now, I also tried swapping to 470 server if that resolved something, but nope.
With Nvidia settings, you mean the Nvidia X server settings program? Otherwise I cant find the program that youre referring to

What is kind of weird is when I disable secure boot, I come sort of come into the Zorin login menu if that makes sense?
Normally you select your name etc with login, where without secure boot, I end up at a blurry screenshot of my background without the ability to put in my login credentials.
Perhaps it makes it easier if I add my complete PC specs, I honestly have no clue if there is an integrated intel backup for my GPU.
Thank you
I only put a secure boot password up during installation of Zorin, which is also always asked when I try to change the driver settings so maybe that might be the case?
My installation is pretty fresh, so I can always reinstall without a password set for the secure boot, and hence removing this issue?
I would absolutely go for this. Maybe it won't work but... It seems the best shot.
A password on MB's secure boot... Yeah I can see how that would block proper driver performance easily.
Even if it doesn't resolve the issue at hand, it may prevent others.
I reinstalled the system with secure boot disabled, and guess what, when I try to log in again, I get to this screen, same as before, weirdest thing I have ever seen
When I re-enable secure boot I am able to log in to the fresh install session.
Still a blank Settings menu and bad performance. Am I doomed to go back to windows?
