Yeah I think you can install the drivers directly from Ubuntu if you 
enable third party sources.

In the GUI installer it's under the additional drivers tab, you can 
switch from nouveau, to Nvidia proprietary.

Or:
apt search nvidia-driver
or
apt-cache search nvidia-driver

and then
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-number

I'm too used to Debian where proprietary drivers are much more frowned at :)
