Bug Description
This is an older card, but it worked well on ubuntu 12.x :)
Booting "Try Ubuntu" on 20.04 get the correct resolution and 2 displays, but the video glitches and shows all sorts of noise. It is largely unusable (which makes filing this bug very hard).
Safe Graphics works in low-res.
The nvidia proprietary driver seems to not support this device any more. I like this card because it has no fan (and I don't do a lot of graphics-intense stuff).

Note: the corruption is not changing unless I move windows around. Moving the mouse alone draws the pointer corrctly.
