Black screen during installation

I'm trying to install Bazzite for the first time on (mostly) fresh hardware. Specs below. I downloaded the latest nvidia-related install package and put on a USB using Ventoy. Made sure fast boot, secure boot, and CSM were all disabled in BIOS. Get through Ventoy on boot and find myself at the GRUB screen where it asks to select an option. No matter which option I pick, it goes straight to a black screen and all my USB devices turn off. This also happens when I run the "Troubleshoot" option for basic graphics mode. I have tried to disconnect all monitors and leave one connected via HDMI direct to the motherboard per the suggestion of others with this issue, and it didn't make any difference. Hoping someone could give me something to try cause I really wanna play around with this distro but can't even get to the installer.

Hardware specs are following:

GIGABYTE X870 AORUS Elite motherboard
AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d
64 GB DDR5 G. SKILL Triton Z5
WD_BLACK 2TB SN7100 NVMe M.2 NVME hard drive
NVidia Geforce RTX 3080ti - I know NVidia drivers are a mess right now but hoping I can at least get past the installer and have more options for addressing this.
