Reference 'https://medium.com/@avinchintha/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-and-cuda-10-0-for-rtx-2080-ti-gpu-on-ubuntu-16-04-18-04-ce32e4edf1c0' with modification

If old nvidia driver exist uninstall all old drivers

sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*

Install GCC and Make

sudo apt install gcc
sudo apt install build-essential
gcc --version
Download nvidia driver and make it executable

wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/410.57/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.57.run
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64–410.57.run
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64–410.57.run --no-x-check

Option  displays during installation

Continue Installation
'No' to every other options

Reboot

sudo reboot

Download CUDA 10.0  (CUDA 10.1 not supported currently by TENSORFLOW)

wesbite: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-10.0-download-archive?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1804&target_type=runfilelocal
Linux --> x86_64 --> Ubuuntu --> 18.04 --> runfile(local) --> Download

Install CUDA

remove all existing cuda

sudo apt-get purge nvidia-cuda*

Create a file called: 'blacklist-nouveau.conf' and paste

blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

Go  to blank screen mode

ctrl + alt + f3

access root

sudo -i

copy the 'blacklist-nouveau.conf' file to /etc/ directory and  update

sudo cp /home/'user_name'/blacklist-nouveau.conf /etc/modprobe.d
sudo update-initramfs -u
exit

Now install the cuda
