This comes down, perhaps, to having both nouveau and nididia drivers on the same system. I've previously had success only by installing a minimal (command line) Debian, installing the prerequisites needed to build the proprietary Nvidia driver, building it and only then installing X Windows / Wayland and a desktop environment via tasksel. That more or less ensures that you never load nouveau at all - blacklisting it / unloading it once installed is tedious. The merits of the proprietary driver are that it mostly works: the downside is that you can't fix it when something is wrong. Cue hundreds of hours of flamewars as to why you should / shouldn't buy/use Nvidia, which drivers you should install ... All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
