hello community :) im a fast learner ill try not to waste your time, and appreciate your help greatly
my build:
x570 unify board
ryzen 5950x DH15 cooler
evga geforce RTX 3080ti
gskill 3600 32gigs
corsair 750 gold
fractal case
5.4.0-96 generic kernel
updated bios with secure features off
so even tho prices are insane i decided to build a pc, all went well with my old graphics card in the new build until i installed this new 3080 ti and now i got driver problems i assume, mints looks great and runs fine on my old 24 inch 1080p monitor but when i hook the new pc up to my 4k tv it looks like shit, first i had stutter and lag so i did fresh install of mint, updated everything and then switched to recommended driver, video playback is fine now, but the desktop and browser look terrible, video icons look almost cartooned, something is clearly wrong but i was unable to fix it by changing drivers, i tried to install the newest nvidia driver from there site but ran into x server issues and did not continue, thank you all for giving me a way to get away from windows, i hope to never use windows again :)
