Sorry, I meant when can we expect 590 drivers to work with blackwell/50 series cards? Are we waiting on nvidia or unraid to do updates?

I compile the Open Source drivers when a new Unraid version is released.

So to speak, when the next Unraid version is released you should see the Open Source 590.x series driver.

Apparently, the latest update failed to install. I'm showing my current version as 580.119.02 and in the available versions list, production is shown as 580.126.09. I tried downloading and installing from the plugin page, but it's telling me that the newest version is already downloaded. Will this just fix itself when the next version becomes available or should I go through whatever the process is to manually update?

Thanks,

If it tells you that it's already downloaded then it should be fine, you can try to select the driver version manually and click Update & Download, this will verify that the driver is installed.

hi everybody,

has anybody successfully installed an Nvidia Geforce RTX 5060 or do I need to wait for the drivers to be updated - since so long my system says no device :( although it is recognized under tools / system devices

This is your issue, 50 series cards need the Open Source driver version on Linux.

from https://forums.unraid.net/topic/98978-plugin-nvidia-driver/page/210/#findComment-1594177

from 12/04/25 until about 1/16/26 everything was running fine. but a few days ago my unraid started randomly crashing.

I changed pcie from auto to 4.0 and that didn't do anything. but changing it to 3.0 appears to have made it slightly more stable but it will still crashes. going from every other hour to once a day or so. I tried setting it to 2.0 instead of 3.0 but that had the same results as 3.0.

both Above 4G Decoding is enabled and Resizable BAR Support is enabled.

ran the mem test and had no errors.

I have syslogs for the last few days but im not sure if those are safe to share. So I have included a screenshot of the error from right before the most recent crash.

attached are my driver info, nividia-smi, tower diagnostics, and my syslog error.

@ich777 if you say it's safe to include my syslogs I will add them.

Thank you for all the help and sorry to be back asking for more.

Don't recall exactly, but it was something unhelpful along the lines of, "The update failed to install. Update the plugin manually."

Download failed for some reason, can't tell what went wrong when the download failes, maybe a short disconnect, GitHub not responding or something else happened, download errors are really hard to track down.

The plugin has a lot of fail-safes built in so that it is really hard to mess up, even if the driver is not found on boot, the plugin tries to download it on boot time, of course the boot time will take a bit longer depending how much bandwidth do you have and how fast or slow GitHub is.

So to speak, if you the plugin tells you that driver version 580.126.09 is already downloaded and the Checksum is OK, then it is safe to reboot, since when the Checksum fails it will try to re-download the driver.

I don't think that the Nvidia driver is the culprit since it seems that lsof is the cause of the issue.

Did you maybe install some other Docker/LXC/VM that could be the culprit?

The message lists just the modules which are linked in the Kernel and therefore it's listed first or at least somewhere at the beginning and the Kernel is always tainted because usually ZFS is there on Unraid and of course the Nvidia driver.

However I removed the Diagnostics since it seems SpaceEngineers is able to the write into the system log and there was some token included.

Howdy

I'm seeing NVRM Out of Memory lines in my dmesg using a 5070ti + latest open source driver:

The GPU is currently passed through to a Windows 11 VM, but it is not bound to VFIO (as I sometimes shut the VM down and use the GPU for transcoding using unmanic.

Seems odd to me Unraid would complain about this with the GPU being passed through.

If this is expected, that's fine, or if I need to attach a diag i can. The fix common problems plugin complains almost daily that I have oom errors, but the only oom in the entire log is this.

First of all, this is not a recommended setup.

However if you are passing it through to a VM you shouldn't have any issues at all.

Please make sure that you are on the latest BIOS version, have 4G Decoding Enabled and Resizable BAR Support Enabled.

This is usually a driver/hardware issue but I can't do much about that since this only means that the card can't assign Hardware resources.

I assume that's because of this error, maybe @Squid can make an exception for this kind of OOM error since this is not a real OOM error.

The main reasons I think it's the gpu is due to changing pcie to 3.0 reduced the frequency of the random crashes and when I hit the gpu with a load it crashes.

I might just have a hardware issue though as I haven't changed anything between 2/04/25 - 1/16/26. no new Docker/LXC/VM.

I plan to run an extended mem test to see if anything shows up there.

anyway thanks for the help!

Having trouble updating to v580.126.09 production branch.

I have removed tried removing the app, rebooting then reinstalling. I have tried multiple different versions of the driver, none of them let me get past the error below.

Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch

NVML library version: 590.48

Card is a Quadro P620.

Any insights appreciated.

EDIT: I was often getting checksum errors when trying to re-download the same drivers. This does not always happen. Behind a pihole, but switching it off made no difference to the checksum error.

It seems a bit strange what's going on on your system.

I see that Unraid installs the 580.x driver and then the plugin installs the 590.x driver, not sure how this is even possible since first this is done:

Jan 26 18:05:03 HOTFUZZ kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 580.126.09 Wed Jan 7 22:59:56 UTC 2026

Jan 26 18:05:03 HOTFUZZ kernel: [drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 for 0000:04:00.0 on minor 1

and then the plugin does:

Jan 26 18:05:59 HOTFUZZ rc.local: --------------------Nvidia driver v590.48.01 found locally---------------------

Jan 26 18:05:59 HOTFUZZ rc.local: --------------Installation of Nvidia driver v590.48.01 successful--------------

however I only see this package on your boot drive:

/boot/config/plugins/nvidia-driver/packages/6.12.54/:

-rw------- 1 root root 33 Dec 19 05:18 nvidia-590.48.01-6.12.54-Unraid-1.txz.md5

I also see this in your installed packages:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12878 Jan 26 18:04 nvidia-590.48.01-6.12.54-Unraid-1

Which I can't explain since this shouldn't be possible at all.

Are you sure that your USB Boot drive is known good?

Do you have any php errors on your Nvidia Driver Settings page, if yes do that:
https://forums.unraid.net/topic/98978-plugin-nvidia-driver/page/178/#findComment-1487747

If you have none of these issues also make sure to run a memtest.

No PHP errors at all, but i have removed and reinstalled the app, and still have the same problem. (That was one of my first attempts to troubleshoot)

I've been using the same USB for about 3 years.

I'll do a memtest and report back.

Greetings.

I'm having problems with the Nvidia-Driver plugin. I initially uninstalled it because I was having erratic behavior on my Tesla P4, with the intent to reinstall to see if it fixed the problem. However, now I cannot reinstall the plugin. I get the following failure:


--------------Can't download Nvidia Driver Package v580.82.09-----------------
Removing package: nvidia-driver-2026.01.16
plugin: run failed: '/bin/bash' returned 1
Executing hook script: CA_postHook

I'm currently running Unraid 7.1.4, and just replaced my Boot USB thinking that might be the problem.

Any ideas?

Did you do that like:

  1. Remove the plugin

  2. Reboot

  3. Install the plugin (don't yet set the new driver)

  4. Reboot

  5. Go to your syslog and search for "NVRM" and see if the driver issue still persists

  6. Change the driver in the plugin to a 580.x version

  7. Reboot

  8. Go to your syslog and search for "NVRM" and see if the driver issue still persists

It's been a few days since I did it, but I will give it another go. I think it automatically installed the 590.x when I installed the app (which you're suggesting it should not have done).

I couldn't do a memtest, but using the live memory tester app didn't give any errors. I did 10GB out of 32GB for the test (ECC ram.)

On plugin installation the plugin will always automatically install driver version 590.x

This is not good test, since you have to run a full memory test not only partially.

However, please do the steps as recommended above, exactly like that, and the plugin will always default to the latest driver which is the 590.x one.

Maybe also pull diagnostics after each reboot so that I can see what's going on.

On 1/8/2026 at 2:45 AM, ich777 said:

That's not easy achievable since you would have to find a driver which includes CUDA 12.8.

I assume you have a container that not supports 13.1 correct? Is there maybe a updated container available which supports the new CUDA version?

Unfortunately not, pytorch doesn't support 13.1 yet :(

I recently installed a Gigabyte 1080 Ti and am struggling to get the driver to recognize the card. I have tried the following:

  1. I tried the production branch install, open-source install, and other listed versions. All gave the same issue:

    1. "No devices were found"plugin-settings.png

I noticed some weird behavior as well. When uninstalling the driver, I saw that my GPU statistics app was able to see part of the GPU's identity but when I installed the driver again, GPU statistics now showed "N/A" in all fields:

gpu-stats-with-driver-installed.pnggpu-stats-withOUT-driver-installed.png

  1. I have also disabled Secure Boot and the integrated CPU graphics within my BIOS settings.

  2. I made sure to disable and enable Docker upon first install.

  3. I have removed and cleaned the PCiE slot on my motherboard, and reseated it.

The card's fans come on, my BIOS can see the PCIE slot is in use. I'm not sure what to do. I feel like I'm going crazy trying to get this driver to work.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry. I was able to get the driver installed. For some reason, it appears that the download would time out while pulling the latest Nvidia driver. I was able to follow the download and it eventually pulled and installed correctly.

Again, sorry to have bothered you and thank you for the support
