Issue/Bug Description:
So a year or so back I brought this Dell Optiplex 9020 refurbished and installed an "ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 Graphics Card (PCIe 2.0, 2GB GDDR5 Memory, 4X HDMI Ports, Single-Slot Design, Passive Cooling) " GPU in it.

When it came to doing a fresh install of Pop OS given the 22.04 release - I downloaded the NVIDIA POP ISO. The first sign of trouble was really wonky display on primary monitor and the other 2 monitors were not used at all. Did install, thinking maybe nvidia aspect isn't effective until after install. Did install and the computer couldn't boot. Early on in boot process I read a message like "Nvidia... not using". The primary monitor went to black screen with blinking cursor in upper right. Unable to use keyboard to drop to terminal or anything. Just sat there foreever.

So I downloaded and installed the non nvidia ISO on the same machine - installer had all 3 monitors working and resolution was normal. After install things were good. Booted and things worked. But there was a telling lag in video responsiveness. When I turned on tiling - could see the window being resized.

Did some googling and found out about nvidia-detector which when I ran it in the terminal, said I needed nvdidia driver 470. Through pop shop - installed the driver. Rebooted and everything works great now!!

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Use ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 Graphics Card (PCIe 2.0, 2GB GDDR5 Memory, 4X HDMI Ports, Single-Slot Design, Passive Cooling) and install POP OS Nvidia ISO of at least 22.04.

Expected behavior:
Nvidia card needing Nvidia driver 470 in the end didn't work out of the gate with Pop os Nvidia ISO.

Other Notes:
I am not writing this bug because I need help solving my particular computer. I'm hoping this information helps you update the website or the Nvidia ISO image to hopefully not have this happen to others.
