Known Issues and Limitations#
Affected Driver Versions |
Issue |
|---|---|
Windows R550 |
Real-Time 2.0 mode occasionally crashes on Windows with R550 drivers. |
R580 |
All Linux and Windows versions less than R581.51 sometimes trigger a crash in Isaac Sim when using SDG workflows. |
Windows R560, R570, R575 |
[Fixed in 576.80, 573.42, 573.39] On Windows with DirectX 12, scenes with a very large number of instances (many millions) may show performance degradation. This will be fixed soon in an upcoming driver release. |
Windows 11 24H2 R570, R575 |
[Fixed in 576.80, 573.42] Kit may crash when using multi-GPU with at least one Blackwell GPU in the system. |
Linux 570.144 and older |
[Fixed in 575.64] In some circumstances, Kit apps may crash during driver shader compilation during scene loading. |
Windows R550, R560, R570, R575 |
When ‘Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling’ is enabled on Windows, Kit apps may freeze when using Omniverse WebRTC Streaming. |
535.256+ on Vulkan |
Versions greater than 535.255 have their version reported incorrectly in Vulkan, causing the driver to be misidentified as incompatible. A workaround is to disable the driver verification check with the command-line argument ‘–/rtx/verifyDriverVersion/enabled=false’ |
NVIDIA RTX GPU Recommendations for Studio and Professional Workstation Users#
Recommended specification for Omniverse Studio and Professional Workstation users.
