I have an HPE server Proliant D元80 Gen10 with integrated graphics card (MATROX MGA G200eH3), with Ubuntu 20.04, and an nvidia Quadro RTX4000 (we’ve tested an RTX6000 as well). I write here after reading and trying all the related threads I could find about this. (to anyone reading from ubuntu or nvidia, I will pay you so much money for stable, easy to scaffold linux installs for portable desktop computing. I’m probably 1 apt-get install from calamity. after may kernel swaps, reinstalls I tried an older ubuntu driver meta-package (nvidia-driver-450) and for some reason I haven’t had any black screens. Tried so many installs of the nvidia driver manually and so many versions/kernels, they all resulted in some form of a black screen/freeze.

driver: nvidia-driver-450 (and related deps).kernel 5.11.0-31 generic (5.10 might be easier to get working but I didn’t have any packages for it, avoid oem kernels).Made an account to paste what I had to get this trashfire working on a new thinkpad.
