That makes no difference for what you are using it, please also check if you have an option for resizable BAR and enable it too.

 

From what I see in your logs the driver is initialized successfully and after you put a load on it it fails and the card falls from the bus.

Can you try to put the card in another slot and check if the power cables are attached properly?

 

If possible please try to install the card in a desktop PC, install the drivers and put a 3D load on it if it works flawlessly.

yes i have the resizable BAR enable...

maybe this is a temperature issue? i have an 80Cº limit on trex but maybe the gpu get more hot. 4 days after start mining i get this problem. what you think?

Maybe, but I can't tell for sure, I can only tell you that it drops from the bus, is this a founders edition card? I won't recommend to run a card always at 80C 24/7.

the card isnt always 80C that is the limit.

I'm trying to add an EVGA XC3 3070 to my unraid server. I can download the Nvidia-Driver from community apps, but when I attempt to open it in plugins, it just sits on a blank screen and CPU 8 goes to 100%. I tried on unraid 6.9.2 and just upgraded to 6.10.0-rc2.

Can you post your Diagnostics please?

I don't see any indication that you've installed the Nvidia Driver plugin in the Diagnostics.

May I ask if you booted by accident into GUI mode or do you need GUI mode?

[GrahamsCrackers]

I was on GUI mode. I just restarted and pulled a new one.

I see nothing suspicious from the logs, it should all work fine, the card is recognized correctly:

And there is no other error in there.

 

Can you please try to open up a terminal from unRAID itself and post the output from:

nvidia-smi

 

If you are experiencing any issues when issuing this command or it takes a long time to execute please pull the Diagnostics again and post them here but first I have some recommendations:

• From what I see you are booting with UEFI, try to boot with Legacy Mode
• Make sure that Above 4G decoding and Resizable BAR support is enabled in the BIOS
• Set PCIe ACS override to Downstream in the VM Manager
  
• Make sure that AMD-V and AMD-Vi is both enabled

I think this is maybe an issue with the plexpass container from @binhex.

I now saw multiple people report that a reinstallation from the container helped and that hardware transcoding was working after that.

 

Sorry for the delay, I had not seen the answer, I am attaching diagnostics, do you intend to reinstall plex?

Yes, this solved most of the issues, see first/second/third page of this thread and search for @binhex on the site.

I just tried to remove Plex from the terminal and reinstall it, unfortunately nothing has changed, it continues to use only the CPU, I also tried to disable the integrated gpu from the bios and leave only PCIE but even so it uses only CPU.

I do not know what to do...

Please post a few screenshots from what you did so far (container templates & Plex settings) please, this would be a good start, have you enabled HW transcoding in the Plex settings and also created a Plex Token?

Ok, I attach screeshot, what do you mean by Plex Token?

You did the '--runtime=nvidia' wrong, please look at the second post of this thread again.

attach screenshot,

You do not create a variable called Extra Parameters.  It is already part of the template.  You must turn on Advanced View (Basic/Advanced View toggle) in the container template to see it.

 

 

Since I have an Intel CPU with an iGPU I use that for transcoding as seen below.  You need the --runtime-=nvidia in Extra Parameters.

 

[Fastbobo]

Thanks a lot, the problem was the extra parameters, my mistake, thanks again!

Hello, struggling to get this installed with a P2000. It is supported by the latest driver so really not sure what the issue is atm.

 

 

I tried with a GT 710 which works just not the P2000. Any ideas what could be causing the issue?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You have bound the card to VFIO from what I see in the screenshot and also in the Diagnostics.

If you bind it to VFIO the plugin can't see the card, please unbind it from VFIO and reboot your server. After that it should see the card, if not please post your Diagnostics again.

(you can see here that it uses the vfio-pci kernel module not the nvidia one because it's bound to VFIO)

Cheers that was the issue

I have a brand new 3060 that I just put into my new unraid server. Had an older 6GB 1060 that was in there and it worked okay, but wanted more power. Unraid doesn't detect the 3060.

Any thoughts?

Nvidia drivers updated and v495.46 is loaded. Nvidia driver plugin shows this error.

 

"NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running."

 

This is a supermicro server mobo.

3060 was in a Windows 10 pc for a week or 2 so I know it works.

Without the Diagnostics I really can't tell anything.

 

Have you turned on Above 4G decoding in the BIOS also enable resizable BAR support if you have this option in your BIOS. Most of the times it seems like it's incompatibility between the hardware (Motherboard & Graphics Card) or a BIOS issue of some kind.

[mgadbois]

Looks like the Above 4G decoding in bios fixed it.

Thanks for the quick response.

I followed the instructions for installing the driver. I did see my p400 show up under the driver information, but coming back a couple days later to set it up I no longer see any information on my card. Any suggestions?
