Supported video cards

  • LE12.2 ships with the 575 series driver, which means Geforce series 700 up to RTX series 40 (RTX 50 series isn't supported as it would need a different kernel driver).

    See the supported product list on the nvidia site: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/250991/

    LE13 ships the 580 series driver, which supports about the same cards:

    Driver Details | NVIDIA
    Download the <dd~LanguageName> <dd~Name> for <dd~OSName> systems. Released <dd~ReleaseDateTime>

    Kodi doesn't support nvdec so video decoding support on LE13 is quite limited.

    In general I'd recommend staying away from nvidia, you'll get a better experience with Intel/AMD (even on-board) - or use something like the Raspberry Pi 5.

    so long,

  • NB: While LE13 is using the 580.xx driver we'll need to bump to the latest driver to gain coverage of newer nVidia cards at some point, and the next-latest 595.xx series drops support for everything before RTX cards. Intel/AMD avoid the whole 'sliding window of support coverage' we see with nVidia cards.
