I recently noticed that my Nvidia 1080ti was not being used by Ubuntu. I checked using the command ubuntu-drivers devicesas well as sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall and determined that the recommended driver was installed. It also shows as selected in the GUI "additional Drivers" tab in the Software & Updates application. Unfortunately, when I checked the About tab in settings it shows that the recommended Nvidia driver is not being used and it is using llvmpipe instead. The recommended Nvidia driver is the 530 driver; I'm unsure how to make Ubuntu use the Nvidia Driver. As a side note, I was able to install Nouveau and get that working so it seems to be an issue with the 530 driver. I have also installed and run hwinfo --gfxcard which game the the results below.
