Hi everyone.
I recently bough a second hand Geforce GTX 750Ti.
I managed to get it working by using nouvaeu driver, however when I tried to use nvidia proprietary drivers it failed.
I am running Debian Testing/Buster and i tried the GPU on two different Towers one with a Xeon E3-1220 v5 and the other one with an i7-2600k).
I actually upgraded to Testing in order to try if updating the kernel would solve the issue, but it didn’t.
The two kernel versions are 5.4.0-4 for Testing and 4.19.0-8 for buster.
I tried both the drivers from the nvidia website and the ones packaged in debian (both the ones in buster-backports and the ones in buster).
In the end every attempt fail when the system (or me ) tries to load the nvidia kernel module.
The error is always No such device
.
Here is the output of modprobe nvidia_current -vv:

Following some hints online I tried adding this to my kernel parameters:
pcie_port_pm=off
without luck.
You can find the bug report attached.

Any hint?
