Please excuse me if I'm mistaken, but is this the Closed Source Driver and would this support the 5000 series? (just got the 5060Ti)

Yes, I saw that too. But I think it's either my rsync scripts or the LuckyBackup docker. I need to look into that. Thanks for your reply, I'll start by updating the BIOS.

Have you had any luck? I facing the same problem with a 2070 Super. It works for a while after reboot but then just disappears .

Actually, does it matter if its closed or open source? I'm gonna be using it for transcoding, gaming and maybe AI with dockers.

Yes steam link works with the dockered version of steam.

Hi, this plugin has been working great for me for a few months until my server needed a restart today.

It's a Proxmox host with Unraid VM and GPU pass through to unraid.

Rebooting my Unraid would hang at rc.local Installing packages from /boot/extra, and removing the nvidia driver install package would let the boot finish.

Trying to re-install the driver now it hangs/never progresses past Installing...

The only way it seems to have a stable system now is to remove the nvidia-drivers. Changing from latest to a past version number that was previously working doesn't change anything.

The GPU is passed through and seen by Unraid in lspci.

Any help is appreciated.

Can you please go a bit more in detail?

However all the drivers are closed source ones except for the option where it says Open Source.

For 5000 Series cards, yes.

5000 Series only supports Open Srouce

2000 Series up to 4000 Series support both Closed and Open Source (including the 1600 series cards)

Everything below 2000 supports Closed Source only

I think it should be pretty obvious why it's not working, another driver is used.
You have to blacklist the nouveau driver.

@SimonF shouldn't the nouveau driver be blacklisted by default, I have seen now many reports with that issue.

Thanks for the reply.

On the Proxmox host nouveau has been blacklisted;

proxmox# lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070] (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

I never blacklisted the nouveau driver in Unraid before and it worked. Given that the nvidia drivers are not installed/won't install, isn't it using nouveau the expected behaviour?

It's passed through as raw device, primary GPU is unticked.

To blacklist it in Unraid - do I add this to my /boot/config/go file?

echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Nope it is not, usually it should be disabled by default.

Please read:

Version 7.1.0 2025-05-05 | Unraid Docs

Dieses Release fügt drahtloses Networking, die Möglichkeit, TrueNAS und andere Fremdpools zu importieren, mehrere Verbesserungen an VMs, erste Schritte hin zu einem responsiven WebGUI und mehr hinzu.

Just do:

mkdir -p /boot/config/modprobe.d

echo "blacklist nouveau" > /boot/config/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf

One from the terminal and that's enough.

Oh, I was asking to see if there's anything feature wise im missing out on being on the open-source drivers vs the closed ones.

If there's no real differences from my perspective, then I should be fine.

Nvidia will move on with the Open Source driver and deprecate the Closed Source over time, like they do it always, however this will take a few years.

Please update your BIOS since it seems to be way out of date.

However this seems like a common issue with newer drivers, I can only tell you to go to the Nvidia Developer forums and describe your issue there since it seems a lot of users, mostly with AMD Systems experiencing such issues.

However I would recommend that you update your BIOS first.

BTW, you have a lot of and I mean a lot of SSH messages in your syslog, is everything good there?

Hello @ich777

I followed your instructions — my BIOS is now up to date, but the problem is still there :(

Just to recap, I’ve already done the following:

I replaced the GPU

• I tested different Nvidia driver versions

• I changed the PCIe slot

• I uninstalled the GPU Statistics plugin

• I uninstalled the Nvidia plugin, rebooted the server, and reinstalled it

• I disabled pcie_aspm

And I found the secondary issue with the flood of SSH messages.
It was caused by my Home Assistant and the Unraid module ^^

Thx in advance !!

Do you need this:
vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1

I really can't help anymore since this seems like some kind of Hardware incompatibility issue.

You can try to create a post on the Nvidia Developer forums and see if someone can help there, or if you are willing to upgrade, you can try the newest public Beta from Unraid, this should be also stable and you usually don't have to worry about your date and even if you are not satisfied, it should be easy for you to downgrade to the latest Stable version from Unraid.

Hey everyone,

I think i am experiencing the same issue as mentioned above and have updated BIOS, checked all settings, made sure that its Gen 3 etc. and am getting the following. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Without Diagnostics, further diagnosis is impossible.

Good day, I'm on 7.2.0 RC-1, I seen a new version in github, do I need to wait for the next version of Unraid to use that 6.12.52-Unraid build?

Thanks

Please make sure that you are on the latest BIOS, possibly try to lower the PCIe Generation in your BIOS to 3.0, make sure that Above 4G Decoding and Resizable BAR Support is enabled. You can also try the closed source driver since you have a RTX2000 series card this driver will also work fine with your card.

Hi Im having a little trouble changing my GPU

I first installed with a 1070 but decided to change and put a 2070 super instead

unraid still shows a 1070 not a 2070 and it shows not detected

I have tried to uninstall the plugin and reinstall

any ideas ?

I think the question would be better be suited in the General or Hardware sub forums since this seems like a Hardware issue, your Card isn't simply detected by the system and this has nothing to do with the Nvidia Driver Plugin and I also don't think with Unraid in general.

Since it seems this is a prebuilt system are you sure that it can handle two GPUs at the same time?

thanks for the reply

The thing is im using the card right now to navigate the GUI and its working fine

It was running this card on windows before moving to unraid

So i thought maybe i had to change something

I just placed the 1050 ti back in and its still showing 0 gpu installed

Im only running 1 GPU

Hi

Can I have some advice. My CPU seems to be working very hard.

I had assumed the hardware transcoding would put the strain onto the GPU.

I appreciate its not a good GPU, this was a functional proof test prior to buying a Arc A380 GPU today (also dependent on whether I can get Intel IGPU working in unraid).

Anyhow the transcode quality is set to automatic, x264 background transcoding to very fast. GTX 750ti selected and its my only transcode.

When I look at NVidia Encode Decode support matrix, the 750ti supports H264 encoding (45% on stats) but it does not support 265 decoding (0% on stats). Is this the reason the CPU is working so hard playing back the movie?

Please forgive my limited knowledge - it just looks like the GPU is slacking.

I just want to confirm I have indeed set it up correctly.

Cheers Chris

It looks like your GPU is transocding like it should, however I would recommend that you replace the GPU ASAP since the legacy driver, which this GPU requires, is not supported by Nvidia anymore, at least it seems like because it doesn't compile against newer Kernel which the next Unraid version will probably use.

The reason why your CPU is working so hard is probably because it has to transcode the Audio stream (please see your screenshot) and Audio is transcoded in one go.

Another reason could be that you have burnt in subtitles into the Video stream, this stresses the CPU alot.

Hi guys,

I need a quick sanity check regarding the transcoding utilization of the iGPU 770 in my i7-12700. Jellyfin Docker with passed through dev/dri. The file is 4K HEVC Dolby Vision Profile 5. I am streaming to my mobile phone via WLAN. Jellyfin says transcoding with 89fps, to 42Mbps MP4 H264 AAC . GPU stats in the Dashboard show the picture below. 3D Render Load 98% what the heck? Shouldnt I be able to transcode a couple of those 4K streams without an issue ? I would have expected maybe 10-20-30% range.....

Any hint what could be the reason; are you own experiences similar ? What am I missing. When I switch off Tone Mapping the Load decreases substantially. Could that be it ?
