Nvidia: top resolution not detected

I've got a monitor which can do 3840x2160 & NVidia Quadro P400 GPU. OS: Debian testing. When I try using the official NVidia driver (v. 525.147.95), everything works, but the top resolution is not detected ( in the list in NVIDIA Settings, the highest detected resolution is 1920x1080 and that's what the driver uses) When I try using the Nouveau driver - if I connect the whole setup to a monitor which can only do 1920x1080, it works all right. If I connect it to my main one which can do 3840x2160 and reboot, all I can see post BIOS & GRUB is a brief output from the kernel booting, and then a black screen - Nouveau probably crashes somewhere. Question: how to either - figure out (and fix!) the crash in Nouveau (in particular, where do I find logs?) - or: convince the NVidia driver to detect (and use!) 3840x2160 ? EDIT: xrandr output:

when I try to manually add the 3840x2160 mode using xrandr, I get 'BadMatch' error:
