Hi,

Please try upgrading the firmware to the compatible/tested version with this driver version according to Dell recommendation, as this is a Dell branded adapter.
If after upgrading the issue is still present, please open a new support case in Nvidia portal, and it will be handled according to support entitlement.

Best Regards,
Anatoly
