So I ensured the version isn't present on my system by running 'apt remove --purge *nvidia*' and rebooted. I then tried to install the nvidia-kernel-dkms package and it made my display go to 1024x728 resolution and only display on one of the two monitors I use (it did install the 550 drivers). So after removing that hot mess, I'm back on the Navoo (yes I know I misspelled it) drivers. Hopefully the correct drivers will be available for my Geforce GTX 1080 GPU fairly soon, it's not like I can afford to go back to AMD unfortunately.
