10. The video card options in the details may be unknown. You can use the following methods:

After installation:
I have also encountered another situation, and I will record it here.
At that time, an independent graphics card was added to the desktop. As a result, windows could recognize it normally, but Ubuntu would not work, so I had to reinstall ubuntu.
However, after the video card is reinstalled, it cannot be identified and the screen is not highlighted, let alone the driver.
The solution is to first install the system with an integrated video card, and then install the system on the Ubuntu Software Center.
, Search for NVIDIA, install this:
Shut down, plug in the video card, and start it. log on to the system, and the video card can be used normally.
