whoops i don't know how to add a picture lol
any way i will just type it then
(from ubuntu hardware drivers thing)

nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version 96) [recommended]
test by the ubuntu developers
license:proprietary
3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for NVIDIA cards.

This driver is required to fully utilise the 3D potential of NVIDIA graphics cards, as well provide 2D acceleration of newer cards

If you wish to enable desktop effects,this driver is required.

If this driver is not enabled, you will not be able to enable desktop effects and will not be able to run software that requires 3D acceleration, such as some games.

end
the driver is activated and is currently in use
so it looks like i got the right drivers
