Note, some machines might not like the current version, in which case a specific version can be installed like so:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430

If you don't know what driver to install, run sudo ubuntu-drivers list first then sudo apt install [package name] where [package name] is something like nvidia-driver-530. I suggest you don't use the -open drivers as they tend to have problems.
