        It arrived and it is up and running but the MPS won't run.  The Log gives me this error:

          Ever think about whether or not your M4000 is compatible with MPS?  My guess is...  it's not compatible.

            MPS technically should be compatible with his card. His card is Maxwell based and MPS docs claim support for Kepler and newer. Though personally I don’t have any cards that old to try myself. Works fine with Pascal that I tried. 
             

            Tom, 

            what startup script parameters are you using?

              Tom, 

              what startup script parameters are you using? 

              export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
              export CUDA_MPS_ACTIVE_THREAD_PERCENTAGE=40
              export CUDA_MPS_PIPE_DIRECTORY=/tmp/nvidia-mps
              export CUDA_MPS_LOG_DIRECTORY=/tmp/nvidia-log
              nvidia-cuda-mps-control -d

               

              I screwed up though.  I was supposed to be buying a P4000 not an M4000.

              ===edit===

              I have already tried a full NVIDIA driver purge and reinstall.

              I may try switching to Ubuntu 20 next.

              If that doesn't work I expect it comes down to M4000 vs. P4000

                Try removing the active thread percentage line. 
                 

                do the errors happen right after starting MPS? Or when trying to run a task with mps? Does it run without mps?

                  It runs without MPS.

                  I will try that next.

                  Have tried deleting the line.

                  Have tried the line with 70%.

                  Started at 40%

                    can you post an output from Nvidia-smi without MPS? Also a link to the auction where you bought the GPU
