Driver manager for graphics card(Solved)

Ask Fedora

Is there a application that would allow me to easily check and install available drivers for my GPU?

If you are using an Intel or AMD GPU then the drivers are included by default. If you are using an NVIDIA one, then you can read: Troubleshooting :: Fedora Docs

Thanks for the references. Sadly it did not fix my problem. What I was hopping to do was lower the frame rate to improve performance. Although doing this still invokes graphical problems.

If you want help, you need to tell us what exact hardware and software you have.

From what I know I have a MSI GT 710 graphics card with a ASUS prime B550M-A motherboard. With a AMD cpu. Its running Fedora silverblue version 41.

I think you are referring to an nvidia gpu there.
If so then you will need the older nvidia gpu drivers.

The rpmfusion-nonfree repo can be configured to provide the proper driver with instructions from Configuration - RPM Fusion.

Then the driver may be installed following the guide at Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion
and select your proper card model

If you are using secureboot you will need to follow the directions at Howto/Secure Boot - RPM Fusion
This should be done before installing the drivers.

This Silverblue, so please follow Using NVIDIA drivers from the Silverblue docs instead.

that is not working one on atomics

first you need to do this with secure boot enabled if not then skip

after that reboot and then run

for cuda
sudo rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau --append=modprobe.blacklist=nouveau --append=nvidia-drm.modeset=1

no cuda
sudo rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau --append=modprobe.blacklist=nouveau --append=nvidia-drm.modeset=1

restart all is golden

Yes, this is included as part of the links in the section that I linked above. Maybe we could make it more prominent / easier to find but it’s there.

Oh I must missed it multiple times I see GitHub issues linked many places and not related links and stuff. But yeah I would just use rpm-fusion guide simple and easy and it works

How would I revert the drivers back to open source if needed?
