Ubuntu display setting not showing 4k resolution

gq flag

I have just received my new two 4k monitors for my dell desktop that mounts an NVIDIA Quadro K2200. The problem is that in the display settings, the maximum resolution I am allowed to pick is 1920x1080.

At this moment, I have 3 monitors connected and the output of my xrandr is

I tried to force higher resolution using

cvt 3840 2160 60
xrandr --newmode "3840x2160_60.00"  712.75  3840 4160 4576 5312  2160 2163 2168 2237 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode DP-0 "3840x2160_60.00"

but I get the following error

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  18 (RRAddOutputMode)
  Serial number of failed request:  43

Also, this is what I get for edid

sudo get-edid | parse-edid
This is read-edid version 3.0.2. Prepare for some fun.
Attempting to use i2c interface

3 potential busses found: 1 2 3
Will scan through until the first EDID is found.
Pass a bus number as an option to this program to go only for that one.
128-byte EDID successfully retrieved from i2c bus 1
If this isn't the EDID you were looking for, consider the other potential busses.
Looks like i2c was successful. Have a good day.

Can you help me fix this out?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
