Nvidia Card Not Found New Install

Issues & Assistance
1

So done new install of Cachy. It installed nvidia-open driver but when I try and use nvidia-smi or switheroo to list cards it only sees the built in AMD gpu. I thought nvidia worked out of box? Its a RTX 5070 Ti.

I’ve been seeing various issues with nvidia drivers, noveau, and mesa at the present. I don’t have Nvidia, so I don’t pay much attention, but there does seem to be some problems just at the moment that may be the source of your issue?

i dont know about the 50series but 40 series is running well , Nvidia has released few for 50 series linux one, but i think it is common as of now to have this problem in intial releases , it was same with 40’series

on my previous install it detected the card fine. but that was using the older ISO where you had to choose the nvidia option for recent cards vs older cards. something in the updated iso broke it.

Try replacing nvidia with nvidia open. I have a 3060 and with the recent nvidia / mesa issue I could get to the desktop in a copy of BlueStar I installed. chrooted into BlueStar and simply installed nvidia-open. Booted to the desktop without issue.

CachyOS already installed nvidia-open by default.
my issue is not seeing desktop its my card is not being seen by nvidia-smi or switcheroo

So like ..

glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'
DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'
DRI_PRIME=1 nvidia-smi

Nada?

In general when seeking support it makes sense to include some system information;

sudo inxi -Farz | paste-cachyos

sysinfo

glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon Graphics (radeonsi, gfx1150, LLVM 19.1.7, DRM 3.63, 6.15.1-3-cachyos)

Only sees the internal AMD iGPU

Can you please run sudo cachyos-bugreport.sh?

Its a NVIDIA issue, please report to them with above log.

You can downgrade meanwhile the nvidia driver with:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.cachyos.org/nvidia/570/lib32-nvidia-utils-570.153.02-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.cachyos.org/nvidia/570/lib32-opencl-nvidia-570.153.02-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.cachyos.org/nvidia/570/nvidia-open-dkms-570.153.02-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.cachyos.org/nvidia/570/nvidia-utils-570.153.02-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.cachyos.org/nvidia/570/opencl-nvidia-570.153.02-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
