How did you get your 1050 Ti working under nouveau?
How many monitors/sizes are you driving off of it?
This is the card that I'm fighting!!
Trying to drive 2 - 1920x1080 and 1 - 4k.
Its the 4k monitor that seems to cause the issues!!
(Please pretty please - - - - do you have any ideas/suggestions!)
