The only similar NVidia I have has bad RAM, making local I/O completely unusable.
According to Xorg.0.log, all looks good, no relevant (EE) lines:

This is from same year introduction as yours, but subsequent generation arch,
Curie rather than Rankine. Everything else in this age group here is running on
32bit CPU, so no Trixie to test with. :(
