5070Ti won't install on Ubuntu 24.04

I have ubuntu 24.04 with the latest motherboard (TUF Gaming x570 with wifi) bios update, the 6.14 kernel, and the 570.124 driver. This works fine with my old 3070Ti gpu.

When I try to swap that out with a 5070Ti gpu I get a quick flash of the motherboard info on one monitor, the grub boot menu, and then the screens all go black and the gpu fans spin up to max.

I’ve tried every solution I can find online and with AI but none work.

Can anyone assist?

Any thoughts on this one? Trying to figure out if there’s a fix here or if I got a bad GPU that I need to return before the window closes.

without nvidia-bug-report.log.gz it is virtually impossible for anyone to help you.

I’d love to provide one but with the computer not booting up I can’t get there.

Apologies, I missed that part.
Assuming that other subsystems work regardless of the GPU problem, you could try ssh-ing from another computer and running nvidia-bug-report.sh then.

Thanks man. I tried that too but it’s not even booting up enough to allow me to do that. I confirmed that I can SSH in with the old 3070Ti.

:(
In such case I would assume it’s broken and try to return or replace it…

ah man. Alright thanks anyway. These are somewhat hard to find now.

Hello guys,
Has there been any update or good news regarding Linux drivers for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti?

I’ve been trying to get it working on Ubuntu 24.04 for the past 10 days without success. I’ve attempted almost every possible method—manual installs, using the latest and older drivers, but nothing has worked so far.

According to Nvidia, version 570.133.07 is supposed to be compatible with the 5070 series, but in practice, it doesn’t seem to recognize the card. I also tried older driver versions, but still no luck.

If anyone has managed to get it working or has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you!

I ended up finding it. There was a setting inside my bios for “Enable 4G Decoding”. Turned it on and it booted up. Thanks for your help.

This is what worked for me! Thank you so much!

Having same issue on Ubuntu 24.04 but the 5070 Ti does work as expected on the Windows 10 side of this dual boot system.

Drivers have been installed but the card does not appear to be recognized by the operating system. Terminal access through recovery mode does work and the card is recognized in BIOS setup.

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz attached.

I have just succeeded installing drivers nvidia-driver-570-open, coming from PPA https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu:

⮕ dpkg -l | grep nvidia-driver

To simplify installation, I have first disabled secure boot in my BIOS. It should be possible also to do it with secure boot enabled, but then one has to deal with signing the drivers and MOK Enrollment.

Here the output of nvidia-smi

I had this exact behaviour with my 5060ti when trying to boot linux before I did the firmware update. NVIDIA says only the 5060 and 5060ti were affected by this and need the firmware update but it may be worth trying with your card. NVIDIA GPU UEFI Firmware Update Tool for RTX 5060 Series | NVIDIA. AFAIK you can use this on any RTX 50 series card. If you're getting a blank screen on reboot with an RTX 50-series GPU, use this Nvidia firmware updater | PC Gamer
