What’s the right method to support both Geforce 5060Ti and Tesla P4 on my Ubuntu 24.04?

Graphics / Linux Linux

I have both a GeForce 5060 Ti and a Tesla P4 GPU installed on a real machine running Ubuntu 24.04.
I installed the -open driver at first, but it didn’t work for the tesla p4.
After checking some resources, it seems that Pascal architecture requires the use of proprietary drivers, but when using proprietary drivers(570.169 and 575.64.03), the GeForce 5060 Ti cannot be driven.
Is it possible to support both Geforce 5060Ti and Tesla P4 on a linux machine?

No. With Blackwell, Nvidia have drawn a line and is only supported with the open module driver. As Pascal does not support a GPU System Processor (GSP) which the open driver depends on, simultaneous support of both cards is not possible.
