And nothing gets outputted on any of the connected monitors during any part of the driver loading, not even a mode switch or anything.

Tested bringing up the card with the Proprietary NVIDIA Module. even that fails aswell. but gives some info on why.

Feb 15 15:20:34 localhost kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

Moving to Nouveau.

Could you please retest with a recent kernel?
(The bug went unnoticed as it wasn't linked to Nouveau.)
