So this is the full solution! use the open source drivers of nvidia. Here is how to do it (on my ubuntu server):
First Disable nouveau & enable unsuported GPU’s for open source drivers:
1. Go to: /etc/modprobe.d/
2. Make a file: blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf
3. Put this in the file:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
4. Make a other “nvidia.conf” file and put this in the file: options nvidia NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1
5. Updat kernel init ram fs: sudo update-initramfs -u
6. Reboot
7. Go to the Nvidia site to the page to download the driver that you want.
8. Copy the URL of the download butten and past it behind wget to download it to the current folder
9. Sudo chmod 700 the file
10. Run the install file: sudo .\filename.run
a. For open source: sudo .\filename.run -m=kernel-open
b. Watch out! See that the nvidia.conf file exist in the modprobe folder and you have rebooted (and run the update-initramfs commando). Then only the GTX/RTX/QUADRO cards wil work!
11. After the instalation reboot the server
12. Test with nvidia-smi
13. Great succes!
