Besides what BobC mentioned above,
it is possible to install the nvidia-driver on a live-usb
you have to enable persistence during the boot, I think it’s the F5 key and you need a lot of space for the root persistence at least 1GB, I think.
Then on the live-session you can install the driver with the nvidia-installer from control-centre.
I didn’t look for the backports drivers, because the default 4.9.87-antix-kernel maybe doesn’t match to this.
This is from my live-usb

Boots fine with the nvidia-driver.
Maybe worth a try,
