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.

Moving to Nouveau.

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