I just noticed it can be related to the command line arguments order. The --gpgpu flag is being ignored and I think it's interpreting it as some driver version.

The --help is clear about this order (although it's something not everyone pays attention) and the server docs (https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/nvidia-drivers-installation) are not right.
