Which nvidia driver? xset +dpms issues. Is my video card dead/broken?

Hi,
  A few weeks ago after my usual monthly update/upgrade, xset +dpms stopped working. Using dpms works as expected initially, but Xorg hangs after about 15min in to power save state. Everything else except the monitor works. I can ssh and reboot. Since then I have been disabling dpms. 

1. I have debian 11 bullseye installed.
2. Xorg tells me that I have this card: NVIDIA GPU GeForce GT 1030
   (GP108-A) at PCI:9:0:0 (GPU-0)
3.   'apt search' shows nvidia-vdpau-driver (version 460.91.03-1) is
   installed. Is this the correct driver? There are so many of them and
   I want to use the correct one. I see several other drivers also.

Do I have a better driver that I should try? Is my video card gone bad?
