This question already has an answer here:
How do I install the Nvidia drivers?
13 answers
Got Ubuntu 16.04, bought a MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X, connected it to PCI, lights on, but actually I dont know how to install and use it.
Last time I installed the Cuda package, I ended up in a login loop and had to reinstall Ubuntu.
The CD that came with the GPU seems to contain only Win-Drivers. Has anyone the same or pretty similar GPU and can tell me how to install or where is a tutorial for this?
Thank you.

That tutorial still works fine. Just open a terminal window and copy and paste each of the lines from the first answer. You will probably want to change the line about the actual installation of the driver tosudo apt install nvidia-396

You mean instead of "sudo apt-get install nvidia-370"? So I dont have to take all these hundreds of terminal commands from the nvidia guide?

Add the Official Graphic Cards PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get updateCheck which Nvidia Driver Version is the latest: Go to https://www.geforce.com/drivers and pick your GPU, check which one is the non-beta. Today the version is 390.
Leave the X server: Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 it should give you a black screen asking you to log in. After logging in, shut down the x-server with
sudo service lightdm stopInstall your Nvidia Driver
sudo apt-get install nvidia-390Reboot your PC
sudo reboot

After I ran
sudo apt-get install nvidia-390
before
sudo service lightdm stop
in the UNIX-terminal, I ended up in some kind of messy loop. So I purged nvidia-390 with
apt-get remove --purge nvidia-390
Then I opened tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1), ran the 2 commands again and rebooted.
Any more adjustments to make?
