Help fixing my broken nvidia nvenc driver/config (ubuntu 20.04)

I don’t need the patch (Quadro P4000 has unlocked encodes) but I will look into updating the driver, as I notice 450.66 is available.

As far as I can tell, I don’t have the nouveau drivers installed:

$ sudo lshw -C display
  *-display
       description: VGA compatible controller
       product: GP104GL [Quadro P4000]
       vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci@0000:21:00.0
       version: a1
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
       configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0
       resources: irq:129 memory:c0000000-c0ffffff memory:d0000000-dfffffff memory:e0000000-e1ffffff ioport:1000(size=128) memory:c1000000-c107ffff

I’ll report back if I still have the issue after updating the drivers. Other ideas and root cause thoughts welcome! Thanks!
