Greetings!
I recently put together a step-by-step guide on how to install NVIDIA’s open-source drivers for RTX 50 Series (i.e. Blackwell) GPUs on Linux - which I’ve tested on my MSI RTX 5080 Gaming Trio OC White.
It also includes a few lines on CUDA enablement and PyTorch testing, but the core is the driver installation flow using the 575.51.02 open kernel modules.
If you’ve been looking to solve the persistent “No devices were found” error shown by the nvidia-smi command, this guide should help you get in the right direction and finally get your graphics card up and running.
I hope it helps anyone navigating RTX 50 Series support on Linux in 2025:
Feel free to let me know how it goes, cheers!
