I updated the Nvidia driver to 535.54. which was the recommended version by ubuntu 20.04 which is installed on my system.
THe GPU is detected as shown below, however nvidia-smi shows no devices. I have gone through several forums to no avail. Any help in this would be much appreciated

The open source driver got installed. As the message says, comsumer cards are not yet officially supported.
You can try to set the above mentioned kernel module parameter, but I’d recommend to purge the -open driver and install the proprietary version.

sudo apt purge nvidia-driver-535-open
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535
