the command nvidia-smi does not work, it gives the following error:
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

If that is not helping, then show the output of: dmks status

I just checked the legacy driver list and I think your GPU is only supported by the version 390 driver:
