Beginners Questions • New to Debian - Can't make Nvidia works

Hi,

I am new to Debian, just installed the distro today, and would love to count with your help if possible.

Everything is working wonderful, but I can't make Nvidia GPU work.

I even get to install the drivers, but `nvidia-smi` command, for example, says me that can't load driver. Also, running `dmesg` says that the Noveau driver is loaded and because of this, well, Nvidia drivers can't be loaded.

This became a nightmare for me, because I tried several things, as well as produres to blacklist Noveau, all without success.

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled again Nvidia drivers several times, also from that .run packages downloaded rigtht from Nvidia website.

My laptop has an integraded graphics card, but also has a nvidia GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM. And I notice that every game I starts is working on the integrated one (not on Nvidia), so they became extremely slow, unplayable.

Also I can't even use that prime run parameters. Well, I use them, but they don't make anything, because the games still using the integrated card and not the Nvidia.

I would be extremely grateful for any help.

Thanks in advance.
