<SOLVED> How to install drivers sparkylinux

[gabinader]

I just built a gaming PC and installed sparkylinux on it. I cant change the resolution to anything beyond 1024x768. I figured that I probably am missing video drivers for my card: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070. I tried the nvidia-detect and it said that it couldnt find drivers that are compatible. Does this mean that I should ditch sparkylinux?

For gaming you will need NVIDIA Proprietary Driver. Here you will find basic information:

Thanks for your reply. The issue is that nvidia-detect is not giving me any information so I am not sure which driver I need.
