Hi intrigeri,
sorry for the wait. I tested the build

tails-amd64-feature_stretch-3.0-20170102T1511Z-957b98d.iso

unfortunately this build too did not bootup :(
This is the trace with "nosplash debug", if this can help.

I couldn't find a way to disable the NVidia graphics from the firmware
as it seems it is not possible anymore (the 440 is a very similar
product)
