Revive An Ancient(ish) NVIDIA

I've got a Lenovo W520 with an i7-2820QM and a NVIDIA Quadro 2000M. The OS is Ubuntu 18.04.4; I've tried several times to load the x86_64 driver from NVIDIA, but my system only shows that it exists. Nothing seems to be able to use it. 

 

I've got it running Fold@Home on CPU full power, but the Quadro just sits in the slot doing nothing - detectable, but unusable. 

 

Is this thing just too old for running a modern OS? Is there an APT Install package I'm just too noob to find?

 

Thanks!
