Very interesting!!!
Reading the file the first couple things that caught my attention also
described
the why and wherefore for the differences.
1. you are running the proprietary drivers not nouveau
2. you are running the latest production brach driver series
(which I could not do because I'm still running a 570 card)
3. you are running only a single gpu
(Nvidia no longer supports running a multi-gpu setup - - - hasn't for
likely over 2 years)
Thank you for your time.
If only I were able to get either/and/or some combination of RX 570 and RX
460 s
running I would pull these nvidia boards in a heartbeat.
When I try to boot the computer with any combination of boards installed I
can't
seem to get the monitor to show anything. (That was with the amdgpu drivers
available - - - - maybe I was supposed to do something more - - - dunno!)
