Navigate from the menus you will definitely find some video setting.
Click on the menu and then in Administration menu you'll find a video setting tool.
Try that! May be that will help you!
All the best!

Try running this command in console/terminal :

Code:

gksu nvidia-settings

If Ubuntu has its settings installed you'll be able to configure any settings from this nvidia-only graphics tool.
All the best...!
