I hope you are doing well. I am facing a similar issue as you with the installation of the driver for my RTX 5090. I have a configuration almost identical to yours:
Motherboard: ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE
BIOS Version: 0901 (Released 2025/03/07)
CPU: Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7975WX
Memory: 256GB DDR5 4800Mhz
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5090 VANGUARD SOC LAUNCH EDITION
Operating System: Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular)
Kernel: 6.11.0-19-generic
Driver: Linux 64-bit 570.133.07
We have tried updating to the latest BIOS, setting everything the same as you, but nothing seems to make my computer recognize this GPU. Even the HDMI output through the card doesnāt work (it was working before booting into Ubuntu, but after booting into Ubuntu, I can only use the VGA port on the motherboard). Did you make any other changes? If so, please let us know.
Hmm, I also experienced a situation where it stopped recognizing after tweaking various settings. However, after enabling āResize BAR Supportā in BIOS, saving, and booting once, and then disabling āResize BAR Supportā again, saving, and booting, it was recognized properly.
(Maybe the GPU-related settings set via BIOS were not updated correctly?)
Even the HDMI output through the card doesnāt work (it was working before booting into Ubuntu, but after booting into Ubuntu, I can only use the VGA port on the motherboard).
Hmm, Iām experiencing the same issue! However, the card itself is recognized.
Currently, I donāt have the computer on hand, so I canāt test it right away. Iāll give it a try as soon as I have access to the machine. Thank you for getting back to me.
=> So the machine does recognize the device as an NVIDIA product with ID 10de:2b85 (same as yours), but it doesnāt identify it specifically as a 5090.
And one more question: are you using Ubuntu 24.10 Server or Desktop? Iām currently testing with Ubuntu Server.
Thanks again for your reply, and Iām looking forward to hearing back from you soon.
Hi, have almost same configuration like you, just 7965WX as processor and diferent brand of card and memories. Yesterday I tried to install Ubuntu 22.04.05 on my syste, first with 3060 card, this was working without any issue with latest 570.133.07 driver, then I switched to 5090 and got No devices were found. Tried everything in this post, but not working.
So today I have installed Ubuntu 22.04.05 server edition, and everything works fine.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was seriously stuck and your method worked like a charm. Enabling āResize BAR Support,ā booting, then disabling it and rebooting did the trick. I honestly canāt thank you enough- you probably saved me hours of frustration. If you ever come to Montreal, we owe you a beer. Absolute legend!
In the same very situation, reinstalling drivers, resizing BAR Support and secure boot type changes donāt seem to do anything. 5090 VGA visible through lspciā¦ I need to keep use the desktop version though, did anyone manage to get one to work (22.04, 24.04, 24.10)?
Yes, I installed Ubuntu 22.04.05 server version and there its working for me. With same settings but Desktop version, its not working. As I dont need desktop version, for now its fine for me. Its really weird, interesting thing is that on server version its working also with older kernel (I thinks its some 5.x version) as I first have installed non HWE version.
I found the solution to this issue: Starting with Blackwell GPUs (RTX 50 series), you must use the NVIDIA open kernel driver instead of the proprietary kernel driver, which is considered legacy at this point (even for gaming use cases). Most documentation around installing proprietary NVIDIA drivers hasnāt been updated for this yet.
For Fedora 42, youāll find the instructions at the bottom of the RPMFusion NVIDIA setup page (not sure if I can link it yet). Iāll copy the commands here for reference, although they are different on other distributions. Install the driver as usual, wait for the kernel module to finish compiling (check htop), then run:
This works on my 9950X3D + RTX 5090 setup on Fedora 42. Iāve only used it on X11 (including VRR, ReBAR and HDMI 2.1 DSC), but it should work with Wayland too.
Install the Latest NVIDIA Driver Compatible with RTX 5090**
The RTX 5090 is a next-gen GPU and may not be supported by default drivers in Ubuntu 24.04 yet.
Manually install the latest NVIDIA driver (from NVIDIAās official site) using .run installer or from the graphics PPA.
Switch from Nouveau to NVIDIA Driver
Ubuntu may default to the open-source Nouveau driver which doesnāt support RTX 5090.
Then reboot and install the NVIDIA driver.
3. Check Secure Boot and Kernel Module Compatibility
Disable Secure Boot** in BIOS/UEFI, it can block NVIDIA driver kernel modules from loading.
Confirm the driver is installed and kernel module loaded:
lsmod | grep nvidia
I encountered the same problem on a Supermicro M12SWA-TF motherboard configured with one RTX 5090 GPU. Had to enable ReSize Bar, boot into Debian 12, reboot and disable ReSize Bar. Then boot into Debian 12 again. This time the GPU works.
I decided to and the 2nd RTX 5090 GPU. With ReSize Bar still disabled, I booted into Debian 12. No GPU card is detected even though they are listed in lspci.
