Screen Resolution problem - only one (sub-optimal) available - "800 x 600"
by Duncan49 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RBZ9)
1) I have a Windows 10 "Gamer" pc, specifications:
ULTRA FAST i7 Desktop Gaming Computer PC / 1TB / 16GB RAM / ? GTX 1660 ? / Windows 10
CPU: 4 cores
HDD: 1TB
RAM: 16GB
Base speed: 3.4 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 - 10GB memory
2) I installed a 500 GB SSD and used it exclusively for the installation of Linux-Ubuntu-20.04
(Windows 10 still present, but on the 1TB HDD).
3) HOWEVER, the screen resolution is not optimal - "800 x 600 / 4:3".
No other options are available if I try the drop-down menu.
4) I should be most grateful if someone could give advice as to how I can arrange for the usual range of resolutions that are available on my friends ubuntu pc - i.e. all the way up to 1920 x 1080 (16:9).
Thank you for your kind attention
