Hello everyone, first of all, I am relatively new to TrueNAS. I have a few years of general Linux experience, but please excuse me if I get things wrong. I just got a good deal on a 16GB 5060 Ti. I already know that I probably won’t be able to get it to run with 25.04, so I tried the 25.10 nightl…

Install a Linux or Windows that let’s you install the driver? What are you hoping to do? Nightly is already dangerous to your data. There is developer mode. You can try to install it there? If this is just a test system, I guess?

Thanks for the reply (replies :)), I wasn’t aware that isolating an unsupported GPU was possible. I’ll try that. Indeed I am just testing stuff right now, hence I am using a nightly build. I am looking to replace an aging Synology NAS - I have already settled on a bunch of used server hardware, and…

@Chomp Thanks for the heads up. What’s the exact nightly build of TrueNAS you’re using? We just bumped from 570.153.02 to 570.172.08 to try to catch the vanilla 5060 support, so I want to see which driver this is on.

It is the following: 25.10.0-MASTER-20250729-015515 - Goldeye That is the (maybe relevant) excerpt from /var/log/messages: Jul 30 10:09:37 truenas kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 570.172.08 Tue Jul 8 18:31:33 UTC 2025 Jul 30 10:09:37 truenas kernel: nvidia-modeset: Loadin…

Heck. I’ll pass it on to Engineering, let them know. The RTX 50-series cards now require the use of the -open one.

@Chomp Sent you a DM (the green envelope in the top-right) asking for a little more detail, if you’re able.

I recently upgraded to 25.04.2. I added a 5060Ti to my system as I saw the driver had been updated to 550.153.02 which supports it. However, when checking /var/log/messages, I still see it trying to use the 550.142 driver. Is that a similar issue to what he’s seeing with 25.10?

I thought the 5060Ti required at least a 570-something driver. 550.## is not going to know what to do with the hardware.

I think that’s a mistake in the release notes/docs page - we’re not planning on shifting drivers until 25.10 Fri Aug 1 13:03:52 2025 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 550.142 Driver Version: 550.142 CUDA V…
