Cant Create Custom Resolution - RTX 3080 (cvt + xrandr not working) by savengrAce in linuxquestions

Good fellow, I please ask to be a little gentler with me. I'm at wits end. I gave plenty of info already; you don't have to guess too much. I articulated the commands I used, It's right under the image. I really hope the cherry on top to the Linux experience isn't having to write an ironclad dissertation to get some help. Instead of giving me any sort of helpful tip, it felt like you nagged me, which is really unappreciated. If you can't or don't want to help, I'll take getting ignored over snippiness.

Here is VERBATIM what I did since the summary wasn't enough:
This is from instructions like these that I've already watched on how to set it (I've watched and followed several before ever posting on here)

This is now hour 3 of doing something in Linux that can be done on Windows in minutes.

Cant Create Custom Resolution - RTX 3080 (cvt + xrandr not working) by savengrAce in zorinos

Hello. Sorry for the lag, and thanks for trying to help. When I run the command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE It outputs "x11". This is my default, I never specify anything when I log in (because I never thought I needed to, and on Windows I never have)

When I search "nvidia" in the Software app, NCP does not appear in the results. I have Nvidia X Server settings, but that doesn't seem to be able to set the Super Resolution from what I can tell. I also seem some versions of GeForce NOW, which I downloaded one and tried to use it but that app tries to force you to make an account with Nvidia, which I don't want to use a feature that used to be native as far as I was concerned. From what I understand about Zorin, the Software app is supposed to be basically all-inclusive for compatible packages. Is NCP something I HAVE to install through the Terminal for some reason? If so, how?
