GeForce GTX 1650 not initializing with older Asus P5K-VM motherboard

I have a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 installed in an older Asus P5K-VM motherboard running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with the 440.64 Nvidia drivers installed. When I use the card with the open source Nouveau driver, the card works fine although not hardware accelerated. Using the binary Nvidia drivers, I get messages like these in my logs:

This happens when trying to use the card for graphics in Xorg or headless via “nvidia-smi”. It also happened on the same hardware when running FreeBSD 12.1 (though the machine now runs Ubuntu as indicated above).

I have tried the 435 driver and various BIOS and kernel options (enabling / disabling ACPI and APIC, for instance) with no success. Do you have any suggestions to get the card working properly?

I’ve also attached my nvidia-bug-report.log, gunzipped since the forum wouldn’t accept my .gz…

Thanks!

For what it’s worth, I see a comment that Turing GPUs don’t like old PCIe buses which makes me immediately suspicious…

If this is the case, should I try a newer or older GPU as a workaround? Older, probably, like a Pascal board?

You found the answer, the Turing in won’t work in that old board. Pascal should work, at least I didn’t hear of any problems with those.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for the prompt reply. If I keep this old board then I’ll try a Pascal GPU instead (or maybe it’s time to finally update the MB).

Thanks again!
