Hi,

did you go to Control Center > Hardware > Additional Drivers and see if it shows your card??. (If it does, install the recommended version!)

Please post the result of
Code:
lspci
just to check the exact model and ID of your card.
Also, as Swarf says, you could download and try zorin 6 rc to check if with the newest kernel, the GPU works better.
And also, as wolfman says, have you checked in additional drivers to see if there is any driver recomended?
