I spent about 2 days and all night with Google AI trying to get this highly recommended NVIDIA RTX 5050 card installed so I could use it with Blender and it finally gave up on me.
I have a Gateway PC. I know Blender isn’t gaming but these Nvidia cards are definitely used in gaming. I wondered if anyone else has installed one. I’ve got Kali Linux.
It said that the card is “So new that the manufacturer hasn’t come up with a working driver yet” and to check back in a few weeks maybe. Surely it can’t be serious? How can NVIDIA sell graphics cards without a working driver. I spent over $200 on this card :(. Thank god I managed to get my system working again, it almost broke my Blender installation but found a workaround to get it back, but its as slow as ever. I’m stuck with this card and it refuses to run.
The Catch-22 is that it apparently will only run on the latest graphics driver that “just came out this week” but you can’t install it with the graphics card inserted, and you can’t install it with it not inserted.
It freezes forever at loading Ramdisk. All the earlier drivers won’t run it either. Of course I have a older system, not incredibly old but dated. I wanted to upgrade my graphics card instead of buying a whole new PC. Thats where spending $200 sounded smart to avoid spending a lot more on a new PC right. Its hugely disappointing. Thanks for any help or experiences.

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure we weren’t talking Pentium or something here. ;p
Sorry, that was all formatted when I copied and pasted. Looks like it garbled it all together but all the output is there
If you want to display the output unchanged, use a code block:
Or just indent everything with a few spaces for the same effect but more work (useful if the output contains back ticks that would close the code block)
