I migrated Unraid servers, and during the migration added a second Nvidia GPU.

Went from a P40, to a P40 and a 1070.

I have a bunch of docker containers where the P40 was passed through, and am replacing those with the 1070.

Nvidia plugin sees the cards:

I setup my docker containers to use the 1070

And according to nvtop absolutely nothing is running on the 1070, but only on the P40.

frigate sees both the 1070 and p40, even though I only passed through the 1070...

I've managed to get the Emby docker container to just see the 1070, but then it doesn't use it almost as if it's not loaded properly (transcoding works only with CPU and not registering GPU)

What's going on here ?

Noticing now in the nvtop screenshot the 1070, which is in slot one on the motherboard is running at 1x.... can't explain why that is.

I reseated the card, and am getting gen3 speeds now normally, however same issue with 1070 not being used by docker containers even though explicitly being passed through

Edit: Now it's back to Gen1. Is this some low power mode that it negotiates down to since it's not being used ?

After a riveting conversation with chatgpt, the answers to my questions are:

1) Driver version 575 did not support compute on the 1070, which is why it was in such a weird state, downgrading to v565.77 means the 1070 was properly seen and everything works as intended.

2) The reason frigate was still seeing both the p40 and the 1070 even though only the 1070 was passed through was cause I had the docker container set to privileged. This allows the container to enumerate everything in /dev/nvidia, which let's it see both. Disabling privileged mode made sure only the 1070 was being passed as intended, and forced frigate to use it.
