My Desktop has got 6GB Nvidia GTX 1060 which has the compatible recommended nvidia driver as nvidia-396.
Tried installing it using



sudo apt purge nvidia-390
sudo apt install nvidia-kernel-source-396
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-396


Please refer to this thread for more details.
and disabled noveau using this



sudo vi /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
sudo update grub2


But I am having the resolution problems...800X600 resolution...even xrandr says so that it is the maximum possible resolution.



The same is happening to my Dell XPS 9560 laptop which has Nvidia 1050 GPU. I followed the same steps for it.
I am having Ubuntu 18.04.



what could be the issue? It seems 18.04 release is yet not that stable for nvidia.

    I installed nvidia-390 on ubuntu-mate 18.04 and didn't had to do anything. It just worked. Maybe issue is with nvidia-396.

    The "nomodeset" is only used with nouveau, to allow X to run (at maybe lower resolution) until you set up the Nvidia drivers, then it is removed.
