Using the driver from their site is the number one way to fuck up your system. There has got to be an nvidia package on Ubuntu.



In my experience the ubuntu nvidia packages were hopeless, I forget exactly what it was but I think even basic stuff like hardware video decoding was not working.

Anyway just basic stuff wasn't working and IIRC the GPU fans would stay at 100% all the time. Just terribly broken.

I'm overall happy with the .run drivers from the site except when they come up at the wrong resolution and need reinstalling as I described.
