Bugzilla Automation <[email protected]> has asked freebsd-x11 (Nobody) <[email protected]> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 287453: x11/nvidia-driver: Vulkan and OpenGL are broken on RTX 5000 series https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=287453 --- Description --- OS: FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE Drivers: 570.153.02, 575.57.08 GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5090 Recently changed GPU to a RTX 5090 and I've been running into serious problems with the nvidia-driver port. I did have to enable the GSP firmware in /boot/loader.conf to get startx to succeed and not hang indefinitely. The real issue is that any hardware-accelerated applications like web browsers (firefox) or terminals (kitty) are unusably laggy. I have had to resort to using the scfb driver for now, in order to have a functional system. Easiest way to trigger the problem is by running vkcube when the driver is loaded in an X11 session. For an instant the program will run fine, then it will appear to pause and become incredibly slow. dmesg output: NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 16, Head 00000003 Count 00001078 NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 16, Head 00000003 Count 00001079 NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 16, Head 00000003 Count 0000107a NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 16, Head 00000003 Count 0000107b I've found similar reports from others who are using different RTX 5000 series cards around the web: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/freebsd-14-2-xorg-hardware-acceleration-i s-not-working-on-rtx-5070-ti/332341 https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/rtx-5070-ti-hangs-with-any-transparent-wi ndows-and-or-vulkan-apps-on-freebsd/334937 I can confirm that even the New Feature Branch driver 575.57.08 still suffers from the same issue, so this is likely to affect the *-devel drivers which are in the works.
