Overview
After updating NVIDIA GPU Driver to version 6.2.2 or later, one or more of your NVIDIA GPUs may become disabled and unused by your system. This is because, starting in the 515 NVIDIA driver release series, two types of NVIDIA Linux GPU kernel module drivers are available, proprietary and open-source, and only one driver type can be used on your system at a time.
| NVIDIA GPU Driver Type | Supported NVIDIA GPU Series | Supported NVIDIA GPU Architectures |
|---|
| Proprietary | GTX 10, GTX 16, RTX 20, RTX 30, RTX 40 | Volta and earlier |
| Open-source | GTX 16, RTX 20, RTX 30, RTX 40, RTX 50, RTX Pro | Turing and later |
Tip
The open-source driver is the default and suggested driver type for NVIDIA GPU drivers starting from the 560 NVIDIA driver release series.
Due to NVIDIA driver limitations, both driver types cannot be used at the same time, and your QNAP device must select one driver type based on what kind of GPUs are installed. GPUs that do not support the selected driver type are then disabled and not used by your system.
GPU Driver Selection Behavior
- If one GPU is installed:
- If the GPU is a GTX 10 series or older: the proprietary driver is selected
- If the GPU is a GTX 16 series or newer: the open-source driver is selected
- If multiple GPUs are installed:
- If any GPU supports the open-source driver: the open-source driver is selected.
If the system selects the open-source driver type, GPUs that do not support the open-source driver are disabled. - If no GPUs support the open-source driver: the proprietary driver is selected
Recommendation
If you have multiple GPUs, to ensure all GPUs are used by your QNAP device, the following configurations are recommended:
Configuration 1: Install GPUs that only support the proprietary driver
- Install GPUs that only support the proprietary driver (GTX 10 series or earlier).
- Remove GPUs that support the open-source driver (RTX 16 series and later).
- Restart your QNAP device.
The system will automatically select the proprietary driver.
Configuration 2: Install GPUs that only support the open-source driver
- Install GPUs that support the open-source driver (RTX 16 series and later.
- Remove GPUs that do not support the open-source driver.
- Restart your QNAP device.
The system will automatically select the open-source driver.

概述
在将 NVIDIA GPU 驱动程序更新到版本 6.2.2 或更高版本后，您的一个或多个 NVIDIA GPU 可能会被禁用并且无法被系统使用。这是因为，从 515 NVIDIA 驱动程序发布系列开始，有两种类型的 NVIDIA Linux GPU 内核模块驱动程序可用，专有和开源，并且您的系统一次只能使用一种驱动程序类型。
| NVIDIA GPU 驱动程序类型 | 支持的 NVIDIA GPU 系列 | 支持的 NVIDIA GPU 架构 |
|---|
| 专有 | GTX 10, GTX 16, RTX 20, RTX 30, RTX 40 | Volta 及更早 |
| 开源 | GTX 16, RTX 20, RTX 30, RTX 40, RTX 50, RTX Pro | Turing 及更晚 |
提示
从 560 NVIDIA 驱动程序发布系列开始，开源驱动程序是默认和建议的 NVIDIA GPU 驱动程序类型。
由于 NVIDIA 驱动程序的限制，不能同时使用两种驱动程序类型，您的 QNAP 设备必须根据安装的 GPU 类型选择一种驱动程序类型。不支持所选驱动程序类型的 GPU 将被禁用并且无法被系统使用。
GPU 驱动程序选择行为
- 如果安装了一个 GPU：
- 如果 GPU 是 GTX 10 系列或更早：选择专有驱动程序
- 如果 GPU 是 GTX 16 系列或更新：选择开源驱动程序
- 如果安装了多个 GPU：
- 如果任何 GPU 支持开源驱动程序：选择开源驱动程序。
如果系统选择了开源驱动程序类型，不支持开源驱动程序的 GPU 将被禁用。 - 如果没有 GPU 支持开源驱动程序：选择专有驱动程序
建议
如果您有多个 GPU，为确保所有 GPU 都能被您的 QNAP 设备使用，建议进行以下配置：
配置 1：安装仅支持专有驱动程序的 GPU
- 安装仅支持专有驱动程序的 GPU（GTX 10 系列或更早）。
- 移除支持开源驱动程序的 GPU（RTX 16 系列及更晚）。
- 重启您的 QNAP 设备。
系统将自动选择专有驱动程序。
配置 2：安装仅支持开源驱动程序的 GPU
- 安装支持开源驱动程序的 GPU（RTX 16 系列及更晚）。
- 移除不支持开源驱动程序的 GPU。
- 重启您的 QNAP 设备。
系统将自动选择开源驱动程序。
