I would probably suggest trying out the proprietary drivers. It should 
be easy to do that these days:

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux

Could you run this to let us know what model of GPU you are using?

     nvidia-smi --query-gpu=name --format=csv,noheader

or

     lspci | grep VGA
