Fedora 41 kernel 6.13 - nvidia card not supported anymore?

Hello. Today I’ve updated my system and found out that my nvidia card is not supported anymore by the current driver (which I’ve installed via rpm fusion)

$ modinfo -F version nvidia
modinfo: ERROR: Module nvidia not found

I really need the closed driver for playing games and programming, and it seems driver version 550 is the last one that supports my card (Pascal, GTX 1070)

There is no updated information on rpmfusion about what driver I should install and how. If I search like this:

$ dnf search akmod-nvidia*
Updating and loading repositories:

Matched fields: name
 akmod-nvidia.x86_64: Akmod package for nvidia kernel module(s)

 akmod-nvidia-470xx.x86_64: Akmod package for nvidia-470xx kernel module(s)

I can’t find a package to manually install driver version 550. What should I do?

My system information pasted from KDE settings:

Operating System: Fedora Linux 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.13.4-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit)

You could go back to Kernel 6.12 so you can use your system properly while you find the answer you are looking for?

YOu updated. Probably the 6.13.4 kernel was installed as indicated in the title.
It seems the 570.86.16 driver is required for that kernel and it is now available from rpmfusion.

nVidia says that the 570 driver supports the GTX 1070 per Driver Details | NVIDIA (click the “Supported Products” link and scroll down).

Can you tell me how to install that one? A new search still shows me the same results:

$ dnf search akmod-nvidia*

Try dnf list akmod-nvidia* --refresh and hopefully you’ll see something like:

akmod-nvidia.x86_64       3:570.86.16-3.fc41  rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

It says:

Installed packages
akmod-nvidia.x86_64       3:565.77-1.fc41     rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

Available packages
akmod-nvidia.x86_64       3:570.86.16-3.fc41  rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

akmod-nvidia-470xx.x86_64 3:470.256.02-7.fc41 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

And about cuda:

$ dnf list *nvidia-cuda*

xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs.x86_64 3:570.86.16-5.fc41 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

So, should I remove the 565.77 packages, reboot, then install the 570 ones?

You can probably sudo dnf upgrade those packages rather than doing a remove then install (but that’s an option if you prefer).

Then wait a little for the kernel to rebuild. (You know it’s done when modinfo -F version nvidia finds the driver.)

Basically it’s like the rpmfusion instructions for the original install, but with upgrade instead of install.
