The mismatch between the isaac sim and Nvidia driver

[yiyiliu.liu]

Hi, I’m trying to install isaac sim on a server computer with RTX 4090

the nvidia-smi:
±--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

But when launching the isaac sim 2022.2.1, I get the problem.

I installed the Nvidia driver first and tested the nvidia-smi successfully.

And used omniverse launcher to install the ISAAC SIM 2022.2.1 and configured the localhost NUCLEUS server.

But there is no setting to choose which graphics device to use to start isaac sim.

This problem has been solved. I installed the driver 535.87 by .run file. And do not add any suffix modifications for the workstation. But there will still be situations where the desktop cannot be displayed, which can be solved by modifying the grub file. Finally the SETTING will show the NVIDIA driver and ISAAC SIM can use the 4090 as the default driver instead of AMD.

Thanks for sharing the solution!
