Works correctly with IGNORE_PREEMPT_RT_PRESENCE=1 and nvidia-driver-545=545.29.06-0ubuntu5, on Ubuntu 24.04 and kernel 6.8.0-rc5-realtime-sunlight1-rt4(6.8.0-rc5-rt4).

cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf
# This file was generated by nvidia-driver-545
# Set value to 0 to disable modesetting
options nvidia-drm modeset=1 fbdev=1

Succeed on 5.15.0-rt17 with ubuntu 20.04.6 . I hesitated when it popped out saying "GUI has better supporting installation versions." Thank you.
