I am running ubuntu 20.04 on lenovo yoga slim7 laptop which is loaded with nvidia 350M graphics card.
I add ppa and apt installed nvidia-470 driver which is the latest one however GPU does not seem to be utilized for desktop GUI rendering as I feel delays in any screen input even for terminal.
Here is what the settings > About page look like.
enter image description here
I checked lspci to find VGA controller but could not find nvidia here.
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G1 (Ice Lake) (rev 07)
and only find
$ lspci | egrep -i "vga|display|3d"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G1 (Ice Lake) (rev 07)
30:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce MX350] (rev a1)
