Isaac Sim can not detect the L40S GPUs

Hi, I am setting up the Isaac Sim environment on a Windows system. I have installed the NVIDIA 572.61 driver, as show in the image below. However, when I run Isaac Sim, is seems that the L40S GPUs is not being detected by Isaac Sim. How can I resolve this issue?


Isaac Sim Version: 4.2.0

Operating System: Windows 10

GPU Information

  • Model: L40s
  • Driver Version: 572.61

Could you provide the complete log and also try with the recommended driver version mentioned in Isaac Sim Requirements — Isaac Sim Documentation?

Hi @VickNV ,
The attached file contains the complete log. Please take a look.
Regarding the driver, I couldn’t find version 537.70 on Nvidia’s driver download page. I have tried versions 572.61,553.62 and 538.19, but none of them worked correctly.
If you could provide a download link for the L40S driver version 537.70, I would appreciate it will test it out.
Best regards!

I noticed another known issue of 4.2.0 in your log:

2025-04-02 05:27:00 [8,758ms] [Error] [gpu.foundation.plugin] No device could be created. Some known system issues:
- The driver is not installed properly and requires a clean re-install.
- Your GPUs do not support RayTracing: DXR or Vulkan ray_tracing, or hardware is excluded due to performance.
- The driver cannot enumerate any GPU: driver, display, TCC mode or a docker issue. For Vulkan, test it with Vulkaninfo tool from Vulkan SDK, instead of nvidia-smi.

Could you confirm whether you’re using the workstation or Docker installation method? Additionally, to help troubleshoot, please try launching the latest version (Isaac Sim 4.5.0 ) and let us know if the issue persists.

Hi @VickNV ,
I consulted with Nvidia technical support in Taiwan, and they informed me that to use Isaac Sim on Windows, I need to set up a vWS or switch to using Ubuntu. Perhaps I should try switching to Ubuntu.
Thank you for your response. Best regard!
