Ubuntu 18.04 still uses llvmpipe driver#3

I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 but the display is annoying, i don’t have hybrid graphics and also i have installed the driver from software and updates.
Now coming to the specs, I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 dual booted with windows 10. I have GTX 1650TI graphics card. I’ve installed nvidia-450(recommended) driver.

hi @chandankum2440 , i have a similar issue, did you find a solution

The kernel and firmware on Ubuntu LTS are too old to drive your AMD gpu, which is neccessary to work since it’s a hybrid graphics notebook.
Please see this on how to install a current kernel and firmware:

Once the AMD gpu is fully functional, some config tweaks have to be done to enable the nvidia gpu:

this worked for me
