So, I am relatively new to linux and I have on 2 occasions installed both zorin os and linux mint. Both of them give me low resolution 1024x768
My graphics card is gtx 560ti and the driver i have is of propietary nvidia-driver-390. I dual boot this pc with linux mint and windows. For the windows version i can experience full 1920x1080
whereas in linux mint(tried zorin os as well, same issue) i am capped at 1600x900 can't go above. I spent many hours(15+) trying to figure out the issue and I think i can understand what the issue is. Essentially my monitor is not giving EDID Info to my graphics driver and therefore it is giving incorrect resolution to my monitor. Why do i believe this? I tried noveau driver and added a kernel parameter to force 1920x1080 edid onto my kernel and it produced 1920x1080 resolution however for nvidia propietary drivers doesn't seem to be registering this kernel parameter therefore it still gives me 1024x768. I don't want this to be an XY problem so you guys can discredit it if you think this is wrong but I really think the problem which i need to fix is to correctly give 1920x1080 edid info to my propietary gpu driver.
I fixed it with a noveau driver to get 1920x1080 however it is really slow at playing games and i want to know how to get 1920x1080 at nvidia drivers. Maybe, xorg.conf idk
