Hi, through ubuntu-drivers devices you should be able to see the one with the suffix open, installing that driver should solve your problem

[grypp]

@Reneanscen, thanks a lot for your reply. I’m not sure I fully understood your suggestion. Can you please describe it more clearly?

My desktop boots, but it doesn’t display anything on the screen (black screen). I can log in via SSH, but when I run nvidia-smi, it doesn’t detect any GPU. However, lspci shows a VGA device with an NVIDIA GPU.

Installing proprietary drivers also doesn't help.

Not sure if its same issue as mine but latest open driver does not work with RTX 5070 TI notebook card either.
If I downgrade driver to 570.153.02 then card starts working and nvidia-smi sees it.

Can you confirm if the "Above 4G decoding" UEFI setting on your motherboard related to BAR is enabled?

[luisalvarado]

I tested with rebar enabled or disabled, on Ubuntu 24.04.2 and 25.04. For both cases ONLY if you install the open source version of the 570 or the recommended 575, will the 5090 work.

The 5090 will only work with the open source one.

[Reneanscen]

@grypp In the ubuntu terminal, enter the command
ubuntu-drivers devices
You will see output similar to the following

You need to install a driver like nvidia-driver-570-open

Just to provide a heads up to folks commenting here, we know @grypp is using the open source drivers due to the kernel log messages.

The proprietary drivers will not say NVIDIA UNIX Open Kernel Module in the kernel logs.
