nvidia driver installed but not being utilized

(noob question) I tried running blender and some 3d games but the framerate is very slow unlike when i boot with windows
I have NVIDIA GTX 950 and i installed the proprietary driver from the software center. I also installed the KDE version if that helps.

how do i fix this issue?

Re: nvidia driver installed but not being utilized

i forgot to mention that whenever i tried to install bumblebee or that i386 thing i forgot, it shows me a blue screen error saying, mismatching nvidia kernel module loaded saying this issue can easily be fixed by rebooting after installation but whenever i do (which this has happened 3x already) it wont boot the gui and im stuck in debian command line

If you're stuck in the command line just login and then type systemctl start gdm3 (or any other display manager u are using) and then you can select your display manager agin
