Ubuntu 17.10 grub and splash screen low resolution with Nvidia driver only

Question

I installed Ubuntu 17.10 on my PC. Then I installed the Nvidia driver in the additional drivers panel. Everything works fine except for grub and the splash screen. These two are in a very low resolution. But if I change back to xorg driver they work like they should in my dual monitor fullhd setup.

This seems a bit strange to me and even if I don't really need it it would be wonderful to have it working in fullhd with the Nvidia driver.

My system: Ryzen 1600X @ 4.1 GHz Msi GeForce gtx 1060 6gb

You can edit GRUB to set a custom resolution to fix this. If I remember correctly the splash screen will also be the correct resolution then.

Because editing the GRUB has potential consequences and terminals are scary I like to use a GUI for this.

Add the PPA and install Grub-Customizer

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

Inside Grub Customizer, set the cutom resolution and save.

Well, that didn't quite work. I am on UEFI boot, is it possible that I therefore need an x24 after my resolution? – Dreamer Plays Mar 12 '18 at 00:23
