After having good experiences using 19.3 and steam playing Civilizations 6 on my laptop, but still having small problems with various things, i chose to upgrade my kernel and distro to 20, but then the sh*t hit the fan, and a lot of trouble with my GFX and unable to even play a MKV through VLS player without it studdering.
Any suggestion how to get my laptop with its main GFX to perform to the max again in Civ. 6?

I have tried using the un-install code for the nVidia driver, and installed 390, 440, 460 and 465 in stead, but all resulting in the nVidia X-server crashing/unusable.
390 gives me somewhat usable Graphix in civ6, but nothing near what I had with the 19.3 where I could have everything on ultra and still not have any trouble running my game at 4K resolution (3840x2160) through HDMI and at same time having my laptop screen (1920x1080) run a mkv movie.
I'm currently at work as a sailor, so I have good network when in port, but at sea it is mediocre, so I might be a few days between checking the tread.
thx in advance.
