OK. Well, the man page says it's a driver for KMS devices? A raw Nvidia chip with no supporting kernel driver isn't going to present itself as KMS. So as far as I understand it, this can't work. I did try the modesetting driver it and it works with the builtin Intel I have. I got into running a compositor with my wm to get vsync support so now enjoying some transparency effects. Video decode is maybe a bit faster than with the Intel driver. Anyways, I found out there's an unblock request for nvidia-driver so that the version in sid (460.91) will be migrated. So it might get into Bullseye for release and presumably Buster backports soon after that.
