Unknownkwita Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I would also like to see GPU drivers supported. Preferably making it optional to minimise impact to users who dont need it. 2 Quote Link to comment

Traditionally you had to find out vendor id and stub the drivers via syslinux kernel command line. To help with this we added vfio-pci.cfg method to select by PCI ID, but still no slick user interface for easily selecting the devices to stub - but lately I've seen a plugin called "VFIO-PCI Config" - maybe the author would help us integrate this natively into Unraid OS 😎 This would open door for us to add gpu drivers without adding a huge burden to VM users..... This is a very good point, I myself am an example of this scenario! But I have my fingers and toes crossed this will be possible soon!! Quote Link to comment
Unknownkwita Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) The 6.9 Beta 22 release notes indicate GPU drivers are coming in a future release. I am super excited even if its months or a year away. "In a future release we will include the NVIDIA and AMD GPU drivers natively into Unraid OS. The primary use case is to facilitate accelerated transcoding in docker containers." https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/prereleases/unraid-os-version-690-beta22-available-r955 Edited June 19, 2020 by Unknownkwita Quote Link to comment

smegger68 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Well, I really want to know when Matrox cards are going to be supported... 😉 1 Quote Link to comment

Koshy, have you tried setting persistence mode on for your card? nvidia-smi -pm 1 I did this for my pair of 1660 Supers, and after a few minutes they drop from P0 to P8. Quote Link to comment
