Sadly there isn't much you can do right now as the next step is to
wait until Nvidia releases and publishes firmware files in order to
enable acceleration in Nouveau. Once that happens we will enable
OpenGL on those GPUs and then everybody is welcomed to report bugs and
so on. But atm it just stalls on the initial enablement of those
pieces. The firmware would land in the linux-firmware repository under
nvidia/ga104 for your GPU.
