Hello, I have an HP OMEN Ryzen 7 4800 with a GeForce GTX 1660Ti running a dual boot with Windows 10 and Linux - Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS with 5.8 kernel. In Windows everything work with no problem. In Linux however, the Nvidia drivers do not seem to load even though the card itself is recognized by the…

nvidia-prime is the correct version but ubuntu-drivers-common needs to be at least v0.8.6 for amd (0.8.6.3 being the current version) Please check if you can upgrade sudo apt update sudo apt install ubuntu-drivers-common
