NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super - driverquestion (nvidia-detect)

[mcdaniels]

Hi folks,

just testing Debian 12 with a NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super card. Tried to use nvidia-detect to detect the card. Nvidia-detect is telling me "Uh oh..." (card not supported). So i decided to give the nvidia-driver (from backports) a go. The system boots but got stuck at "failed to start nvidia-persistenced-service". After some additional research I found some posts telling you should switch off secure-boot.

The point is: Secure-boot is turned off on my motherboard.

So I wonder whether there is a way to get the RTX 4080 working with packages out of the debianrepositories?

What definitily works is using the nvidia-driver from nvidia.com, but I know that you should prefer the drivers in the debianrepo.

The system is looking like this atm:

Code: Select all

Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA AD103 [GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER] driver: nvidia v: 550.142
  Device-2: AMD Raphael driver: N/A
  Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.7 driver: X: loaded: nvidia
    unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa gpu: nvidia resolution:
    1: 1920x1080 2: 3440x1440~100Hz
  API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 550.142 renderer: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
    SUPER/PCIe/SSE2

Kernel in use: 6.10.11+bpo-amd64

Any hint is welcome!

Which version of driver are you using??? i think 535, your card is supported.

Can confirm that nouveau driver is loaded? if yes blacklist it. i am on a 4060Ti and 565 beta drivers.

Hi,

Nouveau is blacklisted. ATM i am using the propriarity driver, cause nvidia-detect is not detecting anything.

I wrote that suggestion because, this happened to me:

Hi and sorry for the late answer. Thanks for you reply I got the exact same message but WITHOUT the nouveau message.

System get stuck at he status nvidia-persistenced.service, when using nvidia-driver.

I think the problem might be that the RTX 4080 SUPER is not included in the nvidia-drivers list.
