Looks like reporting was never accurate so Nvidia just disabled it in 1050s

So I think its because driver model is reporting as WDDM, any way to switch that off on W10? I tried to switch to TCC mode but it says not allowed and will treat it as an error.
Code:
PS C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI> .\nvidia-smi.exe -fdm 1
Unable to set driver model for GPU 00000000:01:00.0: Not Supported
Treating as warning and moving on.
Unable to set driver model for GPU 00000000:06:00.0: Not Supported
Treating as warning and moving on.
All done.
