Please note that as Nobara is a forward-moving, gaming-focused distribution, it is required that if you have an Nvidia GPU, it must be supported by Nvidia open driver version 595 or newer, as Nvidia has ended support for all Pascal and lower cards, and Nobara does not provide legacy driver packages. The lowest supported chips are the GTX 1630 and MX 450 (mobile only):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_(microarchitecture).
Anything before Turing is not supported.
Supported by current driver:
GeForce RTX: 50 Series, 40 Series, 30 Series, 20 Series
GeForce: 16 Series
NVIDIA Turing: T4, T4G
Nobara tries to stay up-to-date with Nvidia x86_64 Linux drivers, providing Production, New Feature and Beta driver branches.
Starting from 24.03.2026. Nvidia has officially released the 595.58.03 Production drivers, and with it Pascal and older generation Nvidia GPUs are no longer supported.
The following older architectures and specific series are no longer supported by this driver version:
GeForce 10 Series (Pascal): Includes popular cards like the GTX 1080 Ti, 1080, 1070, 1060, and 1050.
GeForce 900 & 700 Series (Maxwell/Kepler): Support for these was dropped in earlier driver branches, and they remain unsupported in the 595.x series.
Legacy Data Center GPUs: Older Tesla models such as the M40, M4, K80, and K40 are not supported.
Nobara does not retain old versions of Nvidia drivers, therefore those models are no longer supported.
It should be additionally noted, Nobara 41 and higher do not ship with X11 packages and also does not support X11 moving forward.
