Hello Qubes community,
I am planning to install Qubes OS 4.3 on my system and would like to check compatibility with my hardware. Here are the specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-14700KF
Motherboard: MSI B760M-A
GPU: iGame GeForce RTX 5060 Advanced OC 8GB (no integrated GPU on CPU)
Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
RAM: 32GB
My main questions are:
Has anyone successfully installed Qubes OS 4.3 on a system with an RTX 5060, particularly without an integrated GPU?
Does the nouveau driver provide stable functionality with this GPU, or is official NVIDIA driver passthrough necessary?
Are there recommended GRUB parameters or installation tweaks for avoiding black screen issues with RTX 50-series GPUs?
Any tips for configuring GPU passthrough to VMs while keeping dom0 stable?
I would greatly appreciate any experiences, advice, or step-by-step guidance from those who have tried NVIDIA 50-series GPUs on Qubes OS 4.3.
Thank you!
It is likely to work although I have not heard of manufacturer iGame. As long as they don’t change much it should be fine. Most people don’t use such a powerful card for Qubes dom0 gpu because Qubes won’t use it (unless you use it dedicated to one qube for gaming or AI)
If you have issues, try loading a different kernel at grub.
This guy had a working computer with 5070, I don’t imagine there’s a big difference to 5060
