Solution: Upgrade to driver to the latest version — fixes the RTX driver verification error in Isaac Sim
I was facing the exact same issue with the same GPU, i.e. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU.
Isaac Sim kept throwing this error at startup:
[gpu.foundation.plugin] The currently installed NVIDIA graphics driver is unsupported or has known issues.
Reason for failure: The minimum Omniverse RTX requirement
Installed driver: 535.18
The unsupported driver range: [0.0, 535.129)
Even though nvidia-smi showed a newer version like 535.274, Isaac Sim still complained because some older NVIDIA driver remnants were still present on the system.
What finally worked (Ubuntu 22.04)
- Check available drivers:
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
- Install the latest recommended driver (in my case,
nvidia-driver-580):
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-580 -y
- Reboot your system:
sudo reboot
- Verify the driver installation:
nvidia-smi
You should see something like:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NVIDIA-SMI 580.65.06 Driver Version: 580.65.06 CUDA Version: 13.0 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Result
After upgrading to nvidia-driver-580 and rebooting, Isaac Sim launched perfectly — no more RTX verification failure or [gpu.foundation.plugin] errors.
