I'll let the experts jump in here, but I'd say that this is indicative 
of an nvidia driver problem.  I seem to recall nvidia drivers being tied 
to Ubuntu OS releases, so it's possible that from your jumps from 20.04 
to 22.04 and 22.04 to 24.04, something got stuck on a non-ideal version.

Personally, I'd try making sure that your nvidia drivers are up to date. 
  Caution, though, as I think that some nvidia driver versions are tied 
to support of specific ranges of GPUs.  So finding the right version may 
require some trial and error.
