Machine fails to boot with Nvidia 8800 GTS SSC Edition 640MB on Ubuntu 18.10
My current setup:
ASUS Prime X470 Pro
Samsung 960 EVO Series PCIe NVMe - M.2 SSD (LVM encrypted)
Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 PCIe x1
2 Monitors
AMD Ryzen 7 Series CPU
This setup works perfectly ok except in the graphic department. It's a little "slow".
I had gotten a Nvidia 8800 GTS SSC Edition 640MB card from a friend to replace it. The card works perfectly fine under his Windows setup. Linux. Not so much.
Doing the research, this card and my current card both use the same Nvidia driver (340.107). I went the route of just installing the new card but I get the following message during boot:
WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
Volume group "ubuntu-vg" not found
Cannot process volume group ubuntu-vg
WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...

/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root: clean, 401546/60907520 files, 8689639/243620864 blocks
Installing the NVS 295 back in allows the system to boot properly.
For kicks, I uninstalled the 340 drivers and installed the 390 drivers. While it did allow the system to boot, it did not work out as I had hoped. Only one monitor worked and it was limited to 1024x768.
I tried uninstalling the video drivers but when I rebooted I got the following:
green dots scattered on a black background
I tried booting up with just one monitor connected (and no drivers installed) and it went to a black screen.
Output from lsmod while booted in recovery mode:

I did see some steps in How to install nvidia driver with secure boot enabled? but I wasn't sure if they may be applicable so, in order to not cause unintended harm, I haven't followed them.
Any ideas on how to get this to work? All of the other questions here don't seem to help solve the problem.
Thanks.
