NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA
driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
What's the output of:
lsmod
and:
emerge --info
Here it is.

Your system is using the nouveau driver. You need to disable it and only
enable the nvidia driver. In your make.conf, change this:
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nouveau"
to:
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
Also, add "nvidia" to your make.conf USE flags (this might not be
actually needed, but better safe than sorry.)
Then also see if you have nouveau enabled for something elsewhere in
your portage configuration. Do this:
grep -r nouveau /etc/portage
This should print nothing. If it does, then you should edit the files
and disable nouveau.
Finally, tell portage to check what needs to be re-emerged due to these
changes:
emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y @world
Reboot.
