Can't successfully pass through primary GPU after installing Nvidia plugin

The title pretty much says it all. I'm running 6.9.2.

I was able to pass through my primary GPU (1650 super) to a VM no problem prior to installing the Nvidia driver plugin. After installing it, I'm able to pass it through but Windows says there's an issue with the device (code 43) and defaults to the Windows lo-res basic drivers, and I can still see the blinking cursor of the Unraid command prompt on the screen. The screen will periodically glitch out, go black, and come back. 

I've tried both removing the driver plugin and rebuilding the VM, and the issue persists. I swapped the card with my secondary GPU and the problem sticks with the slot - whichever card is primary has the issue. If I just boot Unraid to the GUI, it works just fine no matter which card is primary.

Any ideas before I rolled to a backup version (which I don't want to do since I haven't backed up for a couple of weeks because I'm dumb)? 

Edit: I fixed it! By adding the video=efifb:off string to my boot options (added after append, like this: append pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction video=efifb:off initrd=/bzroot), Unraid released its hold on my primary card and I'm now able to pass it through to a VM. It's more of a workaround than a fix, but it gets the job done for now. Hopefully this might help somebody else who gets stuck.
