Nvidia-smi works, but can't load driver

So, my nvidia-smi works:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

but inxi -G shows me:

drivers: (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) FAILED: modesetting,nvidia,nouveau

$ xrandr
drivers: (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) FAILED: modesetting,nvidia,nouveau
