graphics card enabled but not in use

Ok, I might be off on a complete tangent here, but how did you install the driver you've got if it wasn't from the internet? Normally you'd let the Hardware Drivers manager download and install the correct proprietary driver. EnvyNG does a similar job. So an internet connection is normally pretty important.

I didn't install any drivers, I am assuming that driver was installed when I installed Ubuntu

Ok until you get a internet connection then installing drivers is out. Could you post the output of the command

lspci

in the terminal located under applications, accessories. This will identify your hardware and then a quick search may help to solve the issues.
