Best Procedure for Installing Newer Nvidia Drivers?

[iamspartacus]

Does anyone have a documented best practice procedure for installing newer nvidia drivers in Proxmox (7.4)? If I understand correctly, running the following command will only install the latest "supported" driver which is 470.129.06.

apt install nvidia-driver

Previously I've installed the drivers via the NVIDIA*.run but that's preventing me from using tools like nvtop.

what you want to do?

1. direct passthrough 1physical gpu to 1vm?
2. use gpu on pve host?
3. separate gpu to vgpu and then pass to vm?

So, you don't need any driver on the host and just passthrough the device.

Thank you, that what I did but I was not sure.

extend question, what gpu would passthrough to vm

1. GPU card
2. CPUs with Integrated Graphics (iGPU)

1. you need enable iommu, you can visit below link
https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-gpu-passthrough-on-proxmox/

2. you may try to add pci device !!pls remain one gpu for console!!
hardware -> add -> pci device



3. final, you can reference below link

Someone can tell me why this err:
# nvidia-smi -q
E: Package 'nvidia-driver' has no installation candidate
