I had latest G06 drivers, something 570.xx but my system didn’t start when I booted. I chaged to open drivers and got 1024x768 picture shown but wasn’t able to change resolution. Any idea how to get new card working in openSuse TW?
Nvidia released so far only one driver for the GeForce RTX 50 Series for Linux: 570.86.16 Beta.
If 570.86.16 don’t work for you, you have to wait till Nvidia releases a new driver.
There have been issues with the 570 Beta Driver. You could try and see if you can install the previous stable / production driver 550 and see if that works with your card perhaps? This has worked for people with older cards who have had black screen or resume from sleep issues, not sure if it would work with the latest cards, but may be worth trying perhaps?
Please read the provided informations in the opening post and the provided links. There is no v550 driver available for the RTX 5080. The RTX 5080 is currently only supported by the beta drivers. It is a brand new GPU.
Yes I did read the information and I also read that the user couldn’t get his system to work with the suggested driver. SO I was trying to help by offering something else to try rather than waiting for Nvidia to come up with a new driver. I guess therefore the only solution would be to run in with Windows for now as they tend to get the latest drivers first. Like these ones released on 20th Feb 2025 rather than the 31st Jan 2025 for the Linux ones: https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/drivers/results/
Recommending MS Windows is never a solution.
But the TO needs to provide some informations to start with.
- which exact list of driver packages got installed the first time?
- how got they installed? With YaST? With terminal: provide complete installation command and output via paste.opensuse.org
- What does “doesn’t start” mean? Any terminal output when hitting “Esc” while booting?
- MOK key enrolled?
- when the open drivers where used: which exact list of driver packages got installed? Complete terminal output. Is kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06 installed?
@jjis That is not necessarily the case, I usually get Linux drivers before they are even on the website, if you know where to look (but I use the run file, and open drivers)

Wow I’ll leave that to you experts, having had problems with the 570 I’ll stick with ye olde stable 550 ones for now.
@jjis All good here, but it’s (Quadro RTX4000) only used for Prime Render Offload…
I have tried many installation methods so far. yast and zypper. Using zypper I used the following commands: zypper in nvidia-video-G06
zypper in nvidia-gl-G06.
And when I installed open driver, I used the following command: sudo zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default
sudo zypper kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06. (560.x)
But, there seems not be 570 kernel-firmware so, I don’t know the version of package kernel-firmware-nvidia to use.
The initial crash happened during the boot after I switched from 4070 to 5080. I didn’t record the log. But now, I have 1024x768 resolution in use whole
time regardless what 570-driver I use (open or not-open (570.86.16)).
inxi -SGaz:
Graphics:
Device-1: NVIDIA GB203 [GeForce RTX 5080] vendor: ASUSTeK driver: nvidia
v: 570.86.16 alternate: nouveau,nvidia_drm non-free: N/A
As far I understand, RTX 5080 is not supported yet.
@Tame It is…
GeForce RTX 50 Series
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
You didn’t show the full output of inxi -SGaz? It is important…
Inxi output

@Tame so it’s supported based on the PCI ID and it’s running with Nvidia…
Can you add nvidia_drm.modeset=0 to the kernel boot options via YaST Bootloader.
I would also suggest setting the Nvidia device as the default Vulkan driver with adding a /etc/environment file containing MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT="10de:2c02"
I would also recommend switching to Wayland with this setup…
No change so far.

@Tame Not really sure, it’s nothing to do with Nvidia or amdgpu, it’s just using modesetting loaded: modesetting here I’m on Intel?Nvidia and see loaded: modesetting,nvidia
So is the likes of suse-prime, bumblebee and bbswitch packages installed (they shouldn’t be)?
None of the packages is installed
@Tame Did you try switch to Wayland rather than Xorg?
Let’s wait a moment until openSUSE gives us an update with driver 570.124.04 Driver Details | NVIDIA
No need to wait for something as the update is already available since yesterday in the openSUSE Nvidia repos…
Installed via the easy way.
