I'm very new to Ubuntu.

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64, what are the steps I should take to install the nVidia graphics drivers?

I'm using a Gigabyte 980Ti G1 Gaming.

I've been going around and trying different ways. But every time after having installed a driver it forces my screen to a very small resolution.

So I just want to know the steps that you take to successfully install the drivers and getting them to work, in the hope that I can finally continue using Ubuntu for my project.

As you are using very new GPU hardware, it is recommended to also use the latest stable drivers.

Install the latest stable NVIDIA drivers supporting 980Ti from the Proprietary GPU drivers PPA.

Open a terminal and execute :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-352 
sudo reboot

Run in terminal

sudo apt-get install nvidia-346

and reboot.
