Hi,

nvidia-detect is indicating your device is supported by the latest 
nvidia driver (currently 440.36).

I'd just not updated nvidia-detect recently, and we occasionally remove 
older releases of packages from the repository. I'll try to get 
nvidia-detect updated to 440.36 this weekend.

Apologies for the confusion - just install 'kmod-nvidia' and you'll be fine.
