Edit NVM Need legacy driver for this gpu

Yes exactly, but please also read the recommended post on top of this thread!

As you can see here you have a Code 79 XID error (like it was before):

NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 79, pid='<unknown>', name=<unknown>, GPU has fallen off the bus.

(You can read more about that here in the table of possible causes)

 

Sadly enough this error is a bit hard to troubleshoot since it can mean almost anything like: that you have a faulty card (frame buffer error), aerror in the PCI bus, issues with the power supply, a thermal issue or an issue with the driver (the last one is actually unlikely because on other systems the driver is working as expected since the plugin always uses the same driver package which is pre-compiled).

 

Did you change anything in your system, a BIOS setting, added hardware or similar,...?

 

Are you also sure that your power supply is still up to the task and can deliver enough juice to run the card properly (IIRC the last user had a faulty power supply)?

 

Please also make sure that you enable Above 4G Decoding in your BIOS and Resizable Bar Support (if you have that option) in your BIOS.

Have you yet tried to boot with UEFI instead of Legacy mode (don't forget to allow UEFI boot)?

 

You could also try, if this is possible for you, to put the card in another system, install the driver and put some 3D load on it for half an hour and see if the card is working properly.

with this gt 710 it seams to work but plex dont stream anything to that

I think you mean that Plex isn't transcoding correct?

Please note that the GT710 is a pretty low end card and is only capable of transcoding h264 (AVC) and not h265 (HEVC), so this might be the issue here.

 

Maybe look for something like a Nvidia T400 it is pretty low power, a recent card (Turing based), doesn't need external power and you can get it for pretty cheap.

yes is just for trying i was transcoding on a 1650 previusly

so changed the gpu with a 1660 with external psu it throw the same error, next step is bios update then i think i need to change the MB i hope not is to old and with a i5 6600k and find a mb that support this cpu it will be a pain

As said, this could be also a Firmware issue, so to speak a BIOS error which most of the times isn't solved with a BIOS update.

u mean nvidia firmware? the bios is old i think didn't remembe the time wen i did the last update

I mean both, this can ultimately boil down to a hardware compatibility issue.

My Nvidia GTX 1060 card is not showing up in the Driver Plugin. I can see the card in System Devices, but in the plugin it says no devices were found.

 

 

I do however see this error in the logs:

Dec 21 14:11:15 Unraid kernel: nvidia_uvm: module uses symbols nvUvmInterfaceDisableAccessCntr from proprietary module nvidia, inheriting taint.

I have read that sometimes that rminitadapter failed error could be related to power. I am using the 6pin Pcie power cable from my PSU. I have also tried a 15pin Sata power to 6pin pcie adapter and saw the same error.

 

Attached are my diagnostics. Any suggestions?

I also tried installing driver version 470 and unraid crashes as soon as I click on the plugin in settings.

in the end it was the bios

well, whyever the old version (old card ?) and may some more hints like diagnostics or at least the syslog what comes when clicking ... (enable syslog to flash if you dont have a monitor attached) to get at least a hint ...

Are you really sure that this card is supported in your server? HP servers often have a device lock and they only allow certain cards to work.

 

However the lockups that you are experiencing is most certainly because of the plugin calling nvidia-smi and that's what causing that.

 

Are you sure that the card is working properly?

Please check if you have Above 4G decoding and Resizable Bar support enabled in your BIOS.

Are you also sure that your power supply is able to deliver enough power to the card?

Can you swap the card to another PCIe slot?

Are you on the latest BIOS version from your Motherboard?

I believe the card is supported as I've read posts and videos of people using a 1060 and a 1080 in my server HP z620.

 

I upgraded the bios to the latest version today. I didn't see any options for 4g decoding or resizable bar in the bios. I did try changing a setting for 'Video Options Rom' from Legacy to EFI. That didn't seem to make a difference.

The power supply is 800watts and should supply enough power.

An older quadro card I had works in the pci slot and displays video output of unraid booting, etc..., so I know the pci slot is ok.

 

I'm going to try the 1060 card in another PC I have to see if it works over there as I'm wondering if the card is bad.

I tried it in another PC that has Windows 10 installed. The card doesn't work in that machine either. No video output. I think the card may be bad. I'll see if I can get it replaced and try again with a new card.

I put in a different GTX 1060 and it was recognized instantly in the Nvidia Plugin. It was definitely a bad card. Thank you for your help!

Hello!,

 

1. Would you consider adding support for Tesla cards?.

2. Wouldn't going with vGPU/SR-IOV allow using the card for containers (emby/shinobi) and VMs (Windows) at the same time?

What card do you have, some are supported.

Can‘t do that because the driver is proprietary and you only can get access to if registred and even if I have the driver, redistribution is not allowed by Nvidia.

A Tesla P4 is working fine with this driver, do a search in this topic for ‚Tesla P4‘.

thats a different story as note, you can use the P4 on Host (Dockers) then ... but NOT simultan in VM / Docker, its a either / or usage ... driver for host (dockers) OR passed through to a (1) VM

hi guys i got a p4000 is it still working with plex transcoding ?

Yes.

howdy all,

I'm having an issue with my new Tesla P4, it hums along happily enough but the I get the dreaded GPU has fallen off the bus issue that i've seen throughout this topic.

I've messed aroudn in my bios (mainly setting the PCIE to gen 2 which ive seen mentioned here) but my X79-UD3 doesn't have either the 4g or BAR options which I fear might be my issue.

Anyhoo, I'm hoping someone can poke at my logs and see something obvious.

Thanks in advance.
