zfrenchy Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 hello forumers ... Here is the story; I have an UNRAID server for a while now and I decided to Rip my collection of movies and make a media server with EMBY. My problem is ... some movies are 4K HDR (H265), my processor transcoding at 100% utilization (video playback is stuttering) So ... I decided to install a graphic card for the H265 transcoding (GTX1660Ti), but my UNRAID version (6.8.3) do not have NVIDIA driver in the package, then I cannot have the "Community App" to install the NVIDIA plugin in UNRAID. So ... update UNRAID to latest (6.10.3) ... but not working ... blank screen with blinking cursor. So ... make a new USB with UNRAID 6.9.2 ... same problem ... black screen with cursor blinking. I need a serious help to figure out my server with this GTX1660Ti and Emby working. My config : Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX r2.0 Graphic card: ASUS TUF-GTX1660TI-O6G-EVO-GAMING CPU: AMD FX8350 @4000Mhz LAN card: STARTECH ST10GSPEXNB 10GB LAN card NVMe card: Dual M.2 PCIE Adapter for NVMe SSD Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16 Storage: Seagate IronWolf 4TB NAS (6 HDD + 1 Parity) Cache: SAMSUNG (MZ-V7E500BW) 970 EVO SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe OS: UNRAID Pro 6.8.3 Docker: EMBY server 4.7.5.0 (Premiere) Note: Since I installed this new graphic card (GTX1660Ti), the gui resolution of UNRAID is enormous, I think is because the graphic card driver are not installed and the OS display basic resolution, anyone can confirm that ... at least. I am at your service to provide any screenshot, video, logs, or config files ... just ask ! Quote Link to comment

zfrenchy Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Startech provide a Linux driver for this card, but I don't know how to install it ... I am a very idiot with Linux (UNRAID) command line. https://www.startech.com/en-us/networking-io/st10gspexnb A good Samaritan to guide me ? Note: For info, this card was working fine with UNRAID 6.8.3, no trick necessary Edited July 18, 2022 by zfrenchy Quote Link to comment

zfrenchy Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 like I said, it was working great with UNRAID 6.8.3, why it shouldn't works with a new version ? Quote Link to comment

Solution zfrenchy Posted July 19, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted July 19, 2022 Driver Linux are not compatible with the UNRAID kernel version. Startech tech support told me no update will be out soon. Quote Link to comment
