No hardware acceleration with latest nvidia drivers and off/zen kernel

Hello there, after update to kernel v. 5.7.* and nvidia drivers v. 450.57.* stopped to work both 2D and 3D acceleration.

1. I have read troubleshoots for nvidia drivers and hw acceleration and didn't find any way to fix it, except rollback drivers and kernel (it's working)

2. tried to install linux-zen kernel with nvidia-dkms drivers, acceleration not working.

3. tried to install linux-lts kernel with nvidia-lts drivers and acceleration is working.

Still i want to report this bug (or somehow fix this problem?) for latest official kernel and latest zen kernel.
Can anyone help me?

Yeap, downgrade to 440.100. There is a Post in nvidia developer forums as well. 550.57 is crap. But noone really seems to care. Especially noone from nvidia.

How do you test for hardware acceleration?
Everything works fine for me, except screen lock bug, they said due to coronavirus they can test it only on home hardware.
5.7.12-zen
450.57

I have terrible performance since 450.57. I created a report on Nvidia forum 1.5 months ago, but nobody there cares about it at all.
