I am pretty new to Linux and I am working to install Cuda, which requires the Nvidia Graphic Card to work. My laptop is Lenovo Y50-70 with a GTX960M card. My system is Ubuntu 14.04.
This is the result I got from the system:
jinchao@jinchao-laptop:~$ sudo lshw -C display
[sudo] password for jinchao:

I have tried several solutions described in many posts, like:
Ubuntu and ASUS G750JM, GTX860M / Nvidia problems,
How do I get Ubuntu to recognize my nvidia graphics card?,
Why does Ubuntu 14.04 not recognize NVIDIA GeForce 310M hardware?,
and many else. Unfortunately none of them works for me. I even try to install ubuntu 15.04, but the same problem still exists.
It seems my problem is a little different from most the post. In most post, at least when they run sudo lshw -C display
, the system can detect the correct model of the graphic card, while in my case, it only detects product: NVIDIA Corporation
.
Can anyone help me? Really apreciated !

You need to install a new driver for this brand new model. Run in terminal
and reboot.
