When can I expect TrueNAS to add the latest drivers for 5 series cards? I was excited to be able to get my hands on a GTX 5060 TI 16 GB because it actually fits in my server case (the server rack has limited room). Didn’t occur to me that I couldn’t select which Nvidia Driver to install with TrueNAS. Right now I am on 25.04, and when I check the logs for nvidia:
grep -i nvidia /var/log/messages
I see the following output:
NVRM: NVIDIA 550.142 driver release.
NVRM: Please see 'Appendix A - Supported NVIDIA GPU Products'
NVRM: specific graphics driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
May 19 17:31:49 truenas kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine failed for 1 device(s).
May 19 17:31:49 truenas kernel: NVRM: None of the NVIDIA devices were initialized.
May 19 17:31:49 truenas kernel: nvidia-nvlink: Unregistered Nvlink Core, major device number 23
In the meantime, I’ll throw it in my Gaming PC, but I’m curious as Nvidia Driver 550.142 is from December. Worried it will be quite some time before this is available…
Man folks complaining that older cards don’t work with current drivers - now folks complaining that newer cards don’t work with current drivers. Just can’t win
Jokes aside - the bad news is that the latest ‘coming soon’ update also doesn’t yet have a driver that’ll support the 5000 series:
Honestly new to TrueNAS and am enjoying it as my NFS for my k8s cluster. Finally got that working, and just happen to stumble upon Nvidia 5060 being available which fits in my server case so thought I would do a NAS/AI server combo. However, no worries since I see its not something for the foreseeable future. Finally convinced me to make my gaming desktop dual purpose!
Usually the nvidia drivers get updated with major releases, so twice a year. Once in april and once in october. Maybe, if there’s a bigger problem with the driver, they’ll throw in an update in a point release to fix issues.
