Request to Add NVIDIA Legacy Driver Support in TrueNAS SCALE

[Sudip_Mallick]

Dear TrueNAS Team,

I’m writing to request the addition of optional support for legacy NVIDIA GPU drivers in TrueNAS SCALE. I currently use a GTX 730 4GB GPU in my NAS system, but I’m unable to take advantage of GPU acceleration features because the latest NVIDIA drivers included in SCALE do not support this legacy hardware.

Please consider enabling optional support for legacy NVIDIA GPUs (e.g., GTX 730) via compatible driver versions. At present, TrueNAS SCALE includes only the latest drivers, leaving older yet still capable GPUs unsupported.

Adding legacy driver support—even as an optional install—would benefit many users who rely on functional older GPUs for tasks like hardware transcoding, AI inference, and general acceleration within home or low-power server environments.

Thank you for your continued efforts and for building such a powerful open-source platform.

Best regards

Enable GPU Legacy Drivers

Hello, Below I write up my suggestion to enable legacy drivers support for legacy GPUs. I list what benefits, advantages and disadvantages I can foresee and present a User Story of a potential user, what error they may encounter and how they would resolve it with the requested feature. Problem/Justification Many users, including myself, are using older but still fully functional NVIDIA GPUs that are no longer supported by the default drivers in TrueNAS. For example, my Quadro K4000 requires l…

Thank you!
