We were having troubles with an AMD card recently so we switched to a NVidia NVS 310 last Friday. Here are what I did.
1. Turned off computer.
2. Unplugged AMD card and plugged in NVS 310 card.
3. Booted computer and updated the video driver to nvidia-375 by using the additional driver windows.
4. Rebooted computer.
After that, it seemed working well. Later, when I tried to ssh to the ubuntu computer and test OpenGL, I found OpenGL doesn't work actually.
Here are some outputs:
$ glxinfo
name of display: localhost:10.0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
$ glxgears
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
