Note
When using resources on Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) such as Virtual Machines, the proper drivers must be obtained directly from the CSP where the services are deployed.
Drivers other than those recommended here may work but have not been validated against all Omniverse tests.

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.
