Issue: Installing NVIDIA 3060 GPU via PCI Extension Ribbon Proxmox
-
Hardware Setup:
- Attempting to install an NVIDIA 3060 GPU.
- Using a PCIe extension ribbon, supposedly PCIe 4.0 x16.
-
Problems Encountered:
- The GPU is not visible in BIOS.
- The GPU is not detected by any VMs.
-
Initial Troubleshooting Steps:
- Expected the Nouveau drivers to detect the card but they did not.
- Tried two different new PCIe extension cables with no success.
- The GPU is new, so hardware failure is unlikely.
- Changed vatious bios settings multiple times without success.
-
Driver Issues:
- Attempted to install NVIDIA drivers without success.
- Suspected a potential conflict with a recent update and NVIDIA driver compatibility.
- Nouveau Drivers are now loading but I originally blacklisted them.
-
Questions:
- Shouldn’t the GPU show up in BIOS regardless of driver issues?
- Is it a Bios issue. I still have the boos it shipped with in it.
Thanks
