Go to the ubuntu software center.

Click "edit" and select "software sources".

Now, click on the "additional drivers" tab.

Here, you will be given the option for which driver to use. You can choose to install the nvidia proprietary driver or use nouveau.

If you are using the nvidia proprietary driver and are unhappy with the resolution of Grub2, your splash screen, and the tty terminals, see here https://askubuntu.com/a/594946/167115

I installed from additional drivers 304 proprietary. After rebooting I saw NVIDIA splash screen for a split of second, and black screen again. Before the splash screen was there for at least 2 seconds. – ubontik Mar 22 '15 at 17:00
